Circular Margate's inaugural project aimed to tackle the material waste endemic to large cultural organizations like Turner Contemporary. These institutions typically host three to four major exhibitions annually, each with unique material needs. A gallery might be completely rebuilt for one exhibition, only to be dismantled three months later for the next. This rapid turnover, coupled with limited storage capacity, often leads to significant material disposal, despite a desire to mitigate this: informal networks for material distribution exist adjacent to these institutions, but their effectiveness is limited by time constraints and the casual nature of these arrangements.
