Disjecta, a North Portland contemporary art center, is known for its innovative programming. Founded in 2000, the gallery was originally run out of an abandoned Masonic lodge. The group has since graduated to a lofty, 12,000-square-foot (1,115 sq m) space in Portland’s Kenton neighborhood.

Disjecta has distinguished itself by amassing a wide portfolio of offerings — some 500 shows since 2003 — that range from visual art installations to collaborations with bands like the Shins to the ambitious Portland Biennial, which will draw up to 5,500 spectators for two months’ worth of symposia, exhibitions and talks from July-September 2016.

Disjecta’s Curator-in-Residence program is a first in the region, inviting visiting artists to create a series of exhibitions and events. This season’s curator is Mexico City-based curator and writer, Michelle Fiedler. Starting Sept. 2016, Fiedler presents a variety of multi-media exhibits like A Composition of Intimate and Public Truths and the pop culture-inspired Oh Time Your Gilded Pages.
