About Satellite

Satellite develops programs and projects through two main processes. Firstly through partnerships and national and international networks; and secondly, through ongoing, open-ended research and development with artists, and their ideas and practices.

Satellite can provide the curatorial expertise and frameworks to generate critically engaged and appropriately commissioned outcomes, and can manage the project through to delivery where necessary.

Satellite will lead the development of new projects across artforms, where the necessary frameworks of site, context, delivery, support and funding will be strategically developed for each project.

Within this context, Satellite aims to provide an innovative collaborative approach to contemporary practice, responding to the changing expectations and desires of artists and audiences.

Satellite projects embrace:

• Public, unusual, interstitial or decentred sites;
• Temporary, transient, and timely outcomes;
• Context and Site Specific works;
• Social or Relational practices;
• Development through a flexible approach that responds in form, medium and nature to each artist’s practice;
• Discursive elements – talks and forums, publications, online interaction;
• The presentation of local artists within an international context;
• The use of discussion as a key process for deepening audience engagement with contemporary practice.
