Museum Exhibitions Tara Donovan: Fieldwork Smart Museum of Art, Chicago Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Fieldwork celebrates American artist Tara Donovan’s distinctive practice that transforms mundane materials like plastic straws, index cards, rubber bands, Slinkys, and Mylar into elaborate, mind-bending objects evocative of the natural world.The exhibition presents, for the first time, wall-based and freestanding objects together, demonstrating how fully the artist reimagines everyday materials. Taken together, the works in this exhibition demonstrate how order and structure give way to unpredictability and how the mundane cedes to the marvelous.For more information, please visit the Smart Museum's (opens in a new window) website.
