The Substation is situated in the heart of Melbourne’s westside creative neighbourhood. Built over a century ago but falling into disrepair before its restoration and adaptation for creative use, the impressive historic infrastructure has hosted an array of contemporary and experimental artistic practices since it reopened in 2008.
Over the past seven years, however, the Substation has undergone major transformations, both operationally and structurally. In many ways, it’s still in this period of transition.
