ADHOCRACY 2013

Full program available here 

QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY LONG WEEKEND, 8th to 10th June
Open studios, artist talks & work-in-progress showings
3pm to midnight each evening
Waterside, 11 Nile St, Port Adelaide
Entry by donation, bar & food available
Presented by VITALSTATISTIX

Adhocracy is Vitalstatistix’s annual make ‘n’ show hothouse, inviting interdisciplinary artists from around Australia to create, converse and critique in one space (our beautiful home, Waterside) over the June Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

This is how it works: artists, selected through a national call-out, spend the long weekend in a studio environment developing new work, which can span theatre, live art, dance, sound, installation and more. They are in the early stages of the process of making and are experimenting with ideas and form. YOU can contribute to their creative process by coming along and taking part in open studios, artist talks and work-in-progress showings. To keep it comfortable and real, there’s also a BAR (open all the time) and taco cat selling their handmade Mexican food from a 1960s caravan each evening, 6 to 9:30pm.

IN 2013 there are eight projects participating in Adhocracy – see a snapshot below and download the full program here.
