Discipline The City

The failure of architecture and the invisible hand of the city come under scrutiny with The Substation’s latest exhibition, Discipline the City. Separated into three acts, Discipline the City will run from 23 August to 24 September, 4 October to 22 October and 1 November to 26 November 2017 at The Substation.

Throughout these three acts, Discipline the City features a permanent gallery, a rotating cast of artists, an architectural case competition, and a punk-in-residence programme, as well as a series of public programmes and events. Expressing The Substation’s artistic theme for 2017, the exhibition examines the question of control, access, and the politics of space and provokes visitors into questioning their right to the city and their place within it.

Each month, a different punk occupies the space to use for their own purpose and without restriction. Their actions are recorded and streamed live on The Substation’s website. The punks taking up residence in Act II is punk couple Amin and Mimie.
