From Performance Space to Asia TOPA with Jeff Khan

‘When I started my career – as a casual front of house person at PICA in Perth – I would never have dreamed I’d be leading organisations and developing their artistic visions,’ reflected Jeff Khan, who is about to start a new chapter as Creative Director of Melbourne’s Asia TOPA after nearly 12 years as Artistic Director and CEO of Performance Space in Sydney.

Reflecting on the decision to hand over the organisation to someone new, Khan said: ‘There wasn’t a particular moment but it’s coming up to nearly 12 years and I feel like it’s a long time for anyone to be in any job these days, but especially in terms of running a small to medium company.
