The title explains the project, which brings together for rooms, different groups of paintings which, in turn, to 'circumstances' varied and never casual, communicate with each other. Circus alludes to the playful character of the installation and possible color facets.
At the entrance, a large mosaic of small portraits tells many human affairs and on the Piazza San Martino painting oversees the Ceremony exhibition and invites you to enter.
In such a crowded prologue is a counterpoint to the human absence of the first floor. Sparecchiate boards, picked when the banquet ended, unroll along the walls in a kind of vast dead contemporary nature, as stated Velasco in the presentation of the exhibition:
On the second floor, the great room houses a collection of paintings of sunflowers that communicates, in a play of colors that goes from yellow to gray, with paintings of two archetypal figures of the painter bellanasco: pharmacist Pirola and the Lady of the Cats. In adjacent rooms, the works are brought together in groups of two and then three, or are all interrelated in monochrome sequences.
