The spring exhibitions at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art opened last week, including Edible?, by Viviane LeCourtois, a retrospective of the artist’s food-related work from the past twenty years. And that seemed a perfect tie-in for BMoCA’s Present Box, wherein the museum store is transformed into a temporary exhibition space for installations, performances and events.
“We wanted to expand it into food,” says Jordan Robbins, BMoCA’s manager of museum marketing.
So the museum invited Teresa Booth Brown — artist, seamstress, gardener, beekeeper, farmer and pastry chef — to create something in the temporary space, and Brown came up with A Unified (Edible) Scheme. Brown will create a mandala comprising sugar cookies printed with an edible image (which will also be printed on the surface beneath the cookie). When the installation opens tonight, visitors can take a cookie, and Brown will replenish the cookies, which will stay there for as long as they last — which, we’re guessing, won’t be long.
Check out A Unified (Edible) Scheme for free at BMoCA, 1750 13th Street in Boulder, through Sunday, March 4. If you want to taste it, though, we recommend that you go to the opening reception tonight at 6 p.m. Call 303-443-2122 or visit www.bmoca.org.
