‘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.
‘As my career developed and I became more and more enmeshed in conversations with artists about their practices, my connection with the artistic process deepened and I realised I wanted to create platforms that met and honoured artists’ ambitions and ingenuity,’ he said.
