About Container Space
Container Space is an adaptive reuse project that is envisioned as an experimental multifunctional gallery - a prototype for an off-grid mobile gallery that will remain a part of the George Mason University School of Art. It challenges the traditional gallery model with sustainability, mobility and access. As an intentional action, a used shipping container has been converted into a prototype for a zero-carbon mobile experimental project and community use space. It challenges the traditional gallery model with sustainability, mobility and access. It is curated/managed and envisioned by students at George Mason University.
