Intuit will present the Acme Miniature Flea Circus as a tribute to Chicago self-taught artist, Joseph Yoakum. Yoakum’s visionary landscapes were inspired by his world travels with five different circuses, and served as a record of his memories. Adam Gertsacov, a graduate of the Ringling Bros. Clown College and owner of the Acme Miniature Flea Circus, will bring his stars, Midge and Madge, to Intuit. Part sideshow, part exhibit, and a whole lot of fun! Midge and Madge will pull golden chariots, walk a high wire, and blast out of a cannon. According to the New York Press, the performance will “amaze and astound even the most cynical and nearsighted of visitors. WATCH! As Midge and Madge pull a tiny chariot! GASP! As they frolic on the tightrope!”

Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art promotes public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of intuitive and outsider art through education, exhibition, collecting and publishing. Intuit defines ‘intuitive and outsider art’ as the work of artists who demonstrate little influence from the mainstream art world, and who instead are motivated by their unique personal vision. This definition includes art brut, non-traditional folk art, self-taught art, and visionary art.
