ABOUTS:
The IN(ter)DEPENDENCE exhibition points to the emergence, in and around Portland over the last 5 years, of small, independently operated, and self-funded cultural hubs. These creative centers have sprung from garages, sheds, old store fronts, unusual gallery situations, above creeks, and within vacant retail spaces. The cross section of these centers represented in IN(ter)DEPENDENCE have introduced exciting new levels of refinement, fresh inspiration, and consistency into the familiar DIY sensibility the Northwest is known for.

Each space or curator participating was asked to nominate an artist or collaborative group to represent them in them in the IN(ter)DEPENDENCE exhibition.

The Settlement is pleased to present at Place and Trade the following: & Review; Appendix Project Space; DEEP LEAP MICROCINEMA; Ditch Projects; Elizabeth Lamb; False Front; Golden Rule; Grand Detour; Half/Dozen; Kelly Rauer; Launchpad; Little Field; Recess; Place; Tribute;

WHAT IS THE SETTLEMENT?
The Settlement is a collection of four artist run galleries on the top floor of Pioneer Place Mall in downtown Portland. Each gallery (People, Place, Store, and Trade) maintains a unique curatorial identity, working together to provide a view into the contemporary, cultural landscape of Portland and the Northwest region. The four former storefronts, comprise 10,000 square feet of space. Settlement programing includes exhibitions, performance, and a wide range of literary, musical, and creatively oriented community engagements.
