MacArthur genius honoree Tara Donovan is one of the most innovative and important young artists of our time. MCASD is the only West Coast venue for the first museum retrospective of this provocative artist, which showcases the artist’s sculptures and installations that transform everyday materials—such as drinking straws and plastic cups—to dazzling effect.
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 Donovan’s practice lies in the way she is able to present a mass of unaltered, simple objects that do not disguise what they are while simultaneously suggesting a range of richly poetic associations.
