Event details: Tara Donovan
Description
Tara Donovanâs sculptural installations are based on the physical properties and capabilities of a single accumulated material. She uses prosaic items including electrical cable, adding machine paper, straight pins, paper plates, and toothpicks.
These materials are arranged in a manner that sometimes mimic the organization of geological or biological forms. Through this subtle and remarkably affecting presentation, drinking straws may suggest clouds and plastic cups may call to mind a brittle winter landscape. Part of the intrigue of Tara Donovanâs practice lies in the way she is able to present a mass of unaltered, simple objects that do not disguise what they are simultaneously suggesting a range of richly poetic associations. Organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, this is the first major museum survey of Donovanâs work.
