Building As a Body is an art installation by Grace Tan and Randy Chan. The installation is a veil, composed of a matrix of dots and lines which envelope the entire façade of the building. The Substation is personified, and the veil articulates the opposing and yet inter-connecting themes of concealing and revealing.

Distro Day Out
A Carnival of SE Asian DIY Hardcore-Punk-Underground Distros!
Saturday 28 – Sunday 29 January 2012, 12pm-10pm
The Substation Gallery
Admission: Free
This is an OpenHouse event 
“Distro”, short for ‘distribution’, has been an integral part of the underground music community-network since the 90s. Run on principles and mechanisms similar to the slightly more reknowned concept of the ‘bedroom label’, the distro has provided those involved in underground punk/hardcore/metal with an avenue to discover and explore music and literature that would otherwise be almost impossible to find.
Also acting as an alternative to corporate music chain-stores, the distro, while relatively obscure to those not in the loop, are far more accessible as both an enterprise and as a contact base within the DIY spectrum.

SlutTalk Singapore
A SlutWalk Fringe Event
Saturday 3 December, 2pm-10pm
The Substation Classroom 2
Admission: Free
This is an OpenHouse event
SlutWalk started in Toronto in February 2011 as a response to Constable Michael Sanguinetti’s statement at a York University safety forum that “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order to not be victimized.” This sparked a backlash which has resulted in SlutWalk groups forming all over the world — from Seoul to New York City to Helsinki to Delhi to Johannesburg — to protest a culture that blames victims for rape, and to challenge the attitudes that come with that, which usually leave sexual crimes under-reported as a result. We recognise that we need to not only put a stop to acts of sexual violence, but also to excuses that allow such violence to continue. For more info visit: http://slutwalksg.com/
The Substation is hosting series of fringe workshops, talks and discussions on Saturday 3 December.
For the line-up, please see below.

Singapore is a small, flat and largely man-made country constantly changing in shape with the reclamation of the coastline, and experiencing rapid demolition/construction within the city at all times.
