Testing Grounds reviews
5 Great public space. Behind the site is a dedicated team to the creative arts carving space for artists are creates in Melbourne and abroad to experiment, exhibit and test their work in the public landscape.
A rotation of different arts projects on the go, including by individual artists, collectives, commissions and festival activities.
Testing Grounds in Melbourne is an avant-garde haven for art enthusiasts, and my recent visit for the (Un) Home: Being-towards-place contemporary art show was an exceptional experience. Nestled within the city, this venue itself is a work of art with its innovative use of outdoor spaces.
(Un) Home, presented by the Chinese Museum Arts Collective, was a captivating exploration of the concept of belonging and displacement. The thought-provoking installations, sculptures, and multimedia exhibits created a powerful narrative that resonated deeply with the audience.
Contemporary hidden place to perform or see a performance. Very inner unknown Melbourne.
The space is absolutely unreal and perfect for almost any event (as long as you have the creativity/imagination). Unfortunately we had to cancel our event at The Testing Grounds due to weather conditions just 6 days out - luckily we did as it did pour on the day (that's the nature of outdoor events). In the weeks/months prior to the event the staff were so helpful and really wanted to assist us in bringing our vision to life. So thankful that there are people out there working at venues that really do care and want to help in any way they can. Looking forward to holding an event here in the future!
