Since leaving its Armenian street home, arts company The Substation is back with a vengeance with its first physical exhibition, Redaction.
Opens on June 28 at the Visual Arts Centre in Dhoby Ghaut, expect to see works by 17 artists that explore abstraction within painting. Its thematic concerns relate to the restriction of access and loss of transparency in the acts of creation and construction. It also explores issues of legibility and obscurity in relation to the recollection and interpretation of narratives, both personal and political.
Redaction features works by Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts lecturer Raymond Yap, exhibition curator Bridget Tay and Lasalle College of the Arts graduate Aryan Arora.
Since its opening, The Substation has organised other digital programmes such as the Female Gaze as well as SeptFest 2021: Alternative Voice(s). It also held an online fund-raising event, Objects of Affections, back in March.
