OBSERVER: The Substation
The Substation launched its Season One program which, due to an unfortunate bout of ill health, had to be presented in digital format rather than at its Newport premises as originally planned.
Nevertheless, going digital did not lessen the impact of what promises to be an exciting first half of 2025.
Staying true to its stated aim of being multi-disciplinary, experimental and contemporary in its approach, a range of different artists make up the program.
Drawn from the Asia Pacific region, the United States and urban as well as regional local and interstate places, ten creators will have work exhibited or performed during the season.
In addition, another six will take up residences based at Newport while a further seven will be in the Substation’s development program. All will be able to avail themselves of the large scale gallery, performance space and dance studio that make the Substation so unique.
All in all then, after some excellent shows over the last couple of post-Covid years, Season One 2025 promises to build on the momentum created and deliver exciting new works.
The Substation, 1 Market St., Newport.
