Trade Gallery

Trade is dedicated to profiling the work of exceptional artists. Its flexible and adaptable programme of exhibitions, events and Interviews, imports artists, organisations and ideas and responds to the needs of artists. The programme pays particular attention to performative, social, collaborative and collective artworks. In addition, the programme provides opportunities to engage and reconsider the importance of historical artists’ film and video in relation to the current social, political and artistic climate. Trade’s aim is to become a viable alternative to the exhibition programmes offered by mainstream galleries and become a publicly accessible alternative to under-the-radar artist run activity. Positioned between the two, Trade differentiates itself from existing cultural provision by profiling both the new and the established.
