Opening Reception for Claire Ashley: Plump, Pucker, Squish
Thursday August 11 – 6:00-8:00pm
Join us for the opening of Claire Ashley: Plump, Pucker, Squish, the Summer 2022 Present Box exhibition.
Reception will include a movement performance inspired by the artwork and remarks by Exhibiting Artist Claire Ashley whose vibrant inflatables embrace and amplify the slippery, blurred lines between painting, sculpture, installation, and performance.

About Present Box:
Present Box is a series of temporary exhibitions that invite artists to transform BMoCA’s lobby and front entrance into innovative installations, performances, and events. The site-specific projects are intended to encourage artists to create work outside their comfort zones and to foster interactive participation. Artists are also urged to explore themes that are relevant for our present time.
