Contemporary Art Manchester (CAM) presents its inaugural project  
Trade City; a dynamic, international exhibition in Will Alsop's  
iconic CHIPS building, supported by Arts Council England and Urban  
Splash, and in conjunction with Manchester International Festival  
2009. Introducing a number of Manchester and UK premieres and new  
commissions, Trade City has generated new forms of exchange across  
the city's art scene.

Contemporary Art Manchester is a new, not-for-profit consortium of  
visual arts organisations, representing the breadth of the current  
contemporary arts infrastructure in Manchester. In bringing together  
the art production of thirteen diverse organisations, Trade City  
reflects the trading and exchange that has taken place between the  
artists and curators partnering in CAM.

Each participating organisation has selected artists to work with  
that are representative of their curatorial approach or position,  
alongside exploring multi-faceted interpretations of ‘trade’. As a  
result, the presented works of twenty-six emergent to established  
international artists trade off each other in one space, creating  
aesthetic and spatial interplays, whilst addressing ideas of  
cultural, economic, geographical and political exchange.

Trade City is organised by Contemporary Art Manchester (CAM), in  
association with Manchester International Festival 2009 (MIF 09).  
Supported by Arts Council England and Urban Splash. Contemporary Art  
Manchester is supported by Arts Council England.
