Vitalstatistix to farewell AD/co-CEO

After 14 years at the helm of Vitalstatistix, Artistic Director and co-CEO Emma Webb OAM is stepping down from her role at the end of March.

During her tenure at Vitalstatistix, Webb has overseen the curation, commissioning, production and presentation of hundreds of shows, residencies and other artistic development opportunities. She has curated the respected national artist hothouse Adhocracy, now in its 15th year; undertaken long-term social practice projects such as Cutaway, Climate Century and Bodies of Work; fostered sisterly relationships with artist-run collectives and contemporary performance presenters around Australia; and supported the careers of South Australian, national and international artists with a focus on women, gender diverse, First Nations, queer and other under-represented artists.
