Step into the world of TAPE ART MEGA CORP, where creativity meets corporate chaos—and everyone’s hired on the spot.

For nine days this March BMAC welcomes the bustling headquarters of TAPE ART MEGA CORP, a playful, participatory art experience led by the acclaimed artists behind Tape Art and Secret Mall Apartment. Visitors are invited to clock in for a shift, create their own tape necktie, and help decorate the company’s new Brattleboro HQ from top to bottom using nothing but imagination and rolls of colorful tape.

Inside this tongue-in-cheek office world, you might find yourself building cubicles, designing tape trophies, or helping your boss finish a “critical order for drawings of cats before the close of Q1!” You can join the fun hands-on or simply observe from your workstation—there’s a role for everyone in this workplace gone wonderfully off the rails.

Part immersive installation, part comedy, and all community artmaking, TAPE ART MEGA CORP invites visitors of all ages to play, create, and laugh together as they help build a world out of tape.

ABOUT TAPE ART

Tape Art is the creative duo of Michael Townsend and Leah Smith, who use rolls of tape and a spirit of experimentation to transform everyday walls into large-scale, temporary murals. Based in Providence, Rhode Island, Tape Art has brought their distinctive brand of public art to communities across the United States and beyond—creating hundreds of murals and thousands of smaller works while sharing their medium in classrooms, hospitals, corporate boardrooms, and cultural spaces. Townsend, founder of Tape Art, is known for his inventive approach to making and his curiosity about how art lives in the world. (He once famously made a home inside a shopping mall.) Smith, a multidisciplinary artist and longtime collaborator, creates videos, installations, and sculpture projects when not pressing tape against walls. She has dedicated countless hours advocating for preserving the presence of artists in the face of urban development. Together, they blur the lines between street art, performance, and play—using tape to create fleeting works that spark wonder, conversation, and connection wherever they go.
