TRADE

TRADE

Trade is an artists run gallery located on the 3rd floor of Pioneer Place in downtown Portland. Trade focuses on local institutions that fill a creative and experimental niche. Trade’s initial activation is by the curatorial collaboration of Nim Wunnan of Research Club, Wynde Dyer of Golden Rule, Max Ogden, and Tori Abernathy of Recess Gallery with Elizabeth Lamb assisting in the overall curation of the space. The gallery is part of The Settlement which is made up of four former storefronts, comprise 10,000 square feet of space and now are activated by exhibitions, performance, and a wide range of literary, musical, and creatively oriented community engagement.

Research Club’s mission is to foster the exchange of ideas across many communities and to find ways that those communities can both support and benefit from their most passionate and inquisitive members. We feel that every active mind produces a body of research as it tries to satisfy its curiosity.

Too often this research is lost or devalued in the attempt to fit it into the boundaries of existing disciplines. Research Club works to provide a community in which all these products of critical thought and curiosity can flourish without pressure that they be related to a specific context.
