Join artist Tara Donovan for an exclusive gallery talk and tour through her exhibition*. Turning ordinary, manufactured objects into astounding works of art, Donovan creates astonishing visual experiences that attest to the poetic wonder of close looking and bigger thinking about the everyday materials that surround us.

Tara Donovan was born in 1969 in New York City. She studied at the School of Visual Arts, New York; Corcoran College of Art and Design, Washington, D.C.; and Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond. Her most recent solo exhibitions have been mounted by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland (2003); Rice University Art Gallery, Houston (2003); the UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2004); Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (2004); the Saint Louis Art Museum (2006); and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2007). Donovan is the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including a 2008 MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant, which acknowledges outstanding achievement “on the very edge of discovery” and “new synthesis”.
