Supporting the development
of new art and performance
IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!
ADHOCRACY
is Vitalstatistix’s national hothouse, supporting
the creative development of new experimental and interdisciplinary arts
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: artists
spend the long weekend in an open studio environment developing new work which
can span performance, live art, sound, installation and more. They are in the
early stages of the process of making and are experimenting with ideas and
form. YOU can engage with the
artists and their creative process through a public program of artist talks and
work-in-progress showings. To keep it comfortable, there’s also a BAR
(open all the time) and taco cat selling their handmade
Mexican food from a 1960s caravan each evening, 5:30 to 9:30pm.
IN 2014 there are nine projects
participating in Adhocracy.
