Opportunities for artists

It's not just festival time of year, it's also 'get involved at Vitals' time of year. We're sending out the call for artists to participate in Adhocracy 2014 and the Future Present residency with Rosie Dennis...

ADHOCRACY 2014

ADHOCRACY is Vitalstatistix’s national artist hothouse, supporting the creative development of new experimental and interdisciplinary projects. Artists from around Australia join us to create, converse and critique in one space (our beautiful heritage-listed home, Waterside) over the June Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

This is how it works: selected artists spend the long weekend in an open studio environment developing new work which can span live art, theatre, dance, sound, installation, media and technology, socially-engaged practice and more. Audiences engage with the artists and their creative process through a public program of artist talks and work-in-progress showings.

We are now seeking proposals from artists across Australia for this unique creative development opportunity. We will select between five and seven projects for participation.

Applications close Monday 31^st March.

FUTURE PRESENT: artists, primary industry & climate change, artist-in-residence project at Vitalstatistix for ADHOCRACY 2014

We are seeking 10 South Australian artists to join this residency, collaborating with lead artist Rosie Dennis, Artistic Director of Urban Theatre Projects (NSW). 

FUTURE PRESENT: artists, primary industry & climate change is an interdisciplinary project exploring the critical global issue of climate change and economic transition.

The project, commissioned by Vitalstatistix for ADHOCRACY 2014, is led by Rosie Dennis, Artistic Director of Urban Theatre Projects (NSW). A maker, performer, writer and curator, Rosie creates work renowned for distinct beauty, universality and currency. She is one of Australia’s foremost makers of contemporary art, drawing from relationships with non-artist experts and on-the-street research.
