Circuitous Succession is an online art gallery that evolved from an ongoing contemporary art exhibition series founded by Jason Miller, the artist known as Soulrecorder. The series comprises of over fifty exhibitions and has built a vast inventory offered through this site–artworks are added on a bi-monthly basis. The series began on Broad Avenue, then called South 2nd Street the location of its flagship gallery from 2015-2017, followed by its finale exhibitions series that took place in Germantown, TN. The brick and mortar gallery spaces worked to serve a nomadic exhibition approach in the circuitous route wherein Miller installed uniquely to fill each diverse art space. Since its 2013 inception the series has taken on the transformation into art gallery and exhibitions in alternative spaces, which includes several exhibitions at Focal Point located in Crosstown Concourse, Memphis, TN. Running along parallel with the gallery exhibitions, Miller curated a series of survey exhibitions in Masonic Contemporary at Memphis Scottish Rite. Working with contemporary artists of international and regional renown, as well as emerging artists, the mission of the series has remained to curate a circuitous path of contemporary art exhibitions in the spirit of experimentation, mystery, and the avant-garde. The series began as a non-profit project and has led to offering artworks for sale to collectors through circuitoussuccession.com.
Discovery, the intuitive process, and the materialization of artists’ visions in all mediums are welcome to participate in this series. Gallery director and curator Jason Miller accepts inquiries from artists and answers in acceptance within two weeks of review. Due to the high volume of artist submissions, only selected artists will be contacted for representation. Circuitous Succession is a commercial art gallery that represents a select ilk of advanced level artists, but remains open to emerging artists post MFA or artists who are advanced in studio art practice experience.

Representing the Richard Knowles Estate, Avon Gokturk Estate, and a select few important contemporary artists, the Circuitous Succession Series provides the global community with imaginative and engaging original art exhibitions available to the public and the collector base. The series grew from a seed planted in Memphis Tennessee.
In July of 2013 curator Jason Miller launched the first of what would become a seventeen part exhibition series, which would consist of sixteen solo shows held at Gasoline Gallery in Memphis' Historic Broad Avenue Arts District and spanning from over four months until its finale show held on November 22, 2013.
One year later Miller orchestrated a group exhibition that expanded beyond the sixteen original artists into forty-four in an exhibition titled Circuitous Succession: Epilogue, and featured fifty-seven artworks all within the Scottish Rite Cathedral of Memphis. The linking of unique artworks with the perplexing presence of historically charged spaces was a constant throughout the two year series of experimental shows in two parts of Memphis.
Ultimately, thousands of visitors have attended the series, with over 350 attending the opening reception of the group exhibition alone to view the artworks in juxtaposition with the four stories of the Scottish Rite that now is home to Masonic Contemporary Museum. That led to two followup survey exhibition, Circuitous Succession Epilogue (CSE ll) & Circuitous Succession Epilogue lll (CSE lll). Ultimately, over fifty exhibitions in the series to date.
Since its conception, the Circuitous Succession Series has curated alternative spaces and white cube gallery environments. Headquartered in Memphis, the series extends to include satellite gallery spaces in the surrounding mid-south communities. As project founder and curator Jason Miller represents mid-career to established artists, while periodically introducing select emerging artists into the mix.
Exhibitions are free and open to the public. Artworks are available to collectors.
