Circus for Construction is a traveling gallery and event space in search of the knowledge, crafts and individuals outside of institutions’ traditional reach. Located on the back of a custom-built truck trailer, the Circus draws from a long history of itinerant and heterotopic spaces. The Circus learns from both 19th century traveling sideshows and contemporary food trucks, circumventing the baggage of its brick-and-mortar peers by hitting the road. Operating as part of a global network of galleries in the WorldWide Storefront project, Circus exhibitions and events are broadcast on a globally accessible internet platform.
The Circus for Construction is operated by a design collective comprising five
architects: Ann Lui, Larisa Ovalles, Craig Reschke,
Ben Widger, and Ashley Mendelsohn. The team is a group of friends and
collaborators based in Cambridge, MA who love art, design and want to share
design with the world through unexpected and exciting new mediums.
