Tara Donovan: Intermediaries

Pace Gallery in New York presents an exhibition dedicated to the work of Tara Donovan and her rigorous investigatory methods and aggregative logic. The show includes drawings, wall-bound pieces, and free-standing sculptures which transform commonplace materials into totalities that test our perceptual limits.

By identifying and exploiting the usually overlooked physical properties of modest, mass-produced goods, Donovan creates ethereal works that challenge our perceptual habits and preconceptions. The atmospheric effects of her art align her with Light and Space artists, such as Robert Irwin and James Turrell, while her commitment to a laborious and site-responsive methodology links her to Postminimalist and Process artists, especially Eva Hesse, Jackie Winsor, Richard Serra, and Robert Morris.
