In 1990, the Gallery opened with exhibitions by multimedia artists Khairul Anwar Salleh and Joseph Lo, and photographer Lim Seng Tiong. Over the years the Gallery has welcomed diverse and challenging contemporary visual and performance art, particularly with our own curated programme, New Criteria.

"As an arts space we want to be approachable, open, diverse and versatile, yet at the same time we want to challenge artists, and demand that they think carefully about what they want to do in our space, and how they are going to do it. Our aim is to nurture and support the artistic process, and especially to encourage and engage new artists; however, we do not want to be a space that is merely convenient." Lee Weng Choy, Artistic Co-Director, The Substation
