Beverly Semmes: Boulders / Flag / Flip / Kick Artist Conversation + Reception
Join us for a public conversation at 6PM at TUAG / Medford (Aidekman Arts Center) with exhibiting artist Beverly Semmes, exhibition curator TUAG Director Dina Deitsch, and Camilo Alvarez followed by a reception celebrating the exhibition.
Tufts/SMFA alumna Beverly Semmes (BA/BFA ’82) has built an extensive practice in sculpture, painting, film, performance, and fashion that probes the paradoxes and complexities of the body and its representation. Best known for her oversized dress sculptures, begun in the early 1990s—followed by her FRP (Feminist Responsibility Project) series of over-painted pornographic images and clay sculptures—Semmes has played with the scale, exposure or covering, and abstraction of the female form for over three decades.
