After eight years as the Artistic Director of Brisbane Powerhouse, Kris Stewart said the time was right for him to move on.
‘There was this moment where I realised I could lead the organisation through its 21st birthday. We’d have a publication that talks about what Zane [Trow], Andrew [Ross] and I had done as the three Artistic Directors of the Powerhouse; we could have this massive, concert and exhibition that celebrated all that the building had been able to do, and then I could allow it to be handed over to someone else. And I think that seemed to me like such a beautiful and gentle moment – a poetic moment – that it seemed like the right thing to do,’ he explained.
