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 brickandmortar peers by hitting the road.

Operating as part of a global network of galleries in the WorldWide Storefront project, Circus exhibitions and events will be 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.
