Cargo Space is an artists networking residency housed in a refurbished 27’ diesel transit bus. Part tour bus, part utility vehicle, the bus forms a mobile platform for dialogue, creation, and community among artists. Founders Christopher Sperandio and Simon Grennan conceived the project in order to promote exchange between artists from cities outside of the major art centers. Houston-based Sperandio proposes, “by building a mobile living space, it’s possible to jump beyond the confines of real estate and fixed demographics, to take art and artists to unexpected places.” In this instance, the Cargo Space bus connected artists from the Chicago area with Milwaukee artists.
