I'm particularly excited about having Tara Donovan's work here. She uses every day objects to create organic, site-specific installations that no longer resemble their original materials. This piece is made from styrofoam cups and was installed to fit the ceiling of the CAC's lobby (not shown here). Donovan was awarded a MacArthur fellowship in 2008.
While I had a chance to see Donald Sultan's art, the show was not yet hung as it just arrived yesterday. His show, Donald Sultan: The First Decade, is an exhibition of his early work. We had the pleasure of meeting the artist as he was in the gallery working on the installation. This body of work relies heavily on the use of industrial materials such as tar, linoleum, and plaster.
If you can't make it to the opening, both shows will be at the CAC until May. Also, Carlos Amorales' Discared Spider has been extended until September.
