Tara Donovan at the Met
We walked through this installation, which was cool to see. Not as cool as the photos on the Met's web site, though.

I'm looking forward to her show at the Boston ICA this fall. They had a great piece of hers that was a four foot or so cube made of pins. That's all. No magnets, so glue, just pins pressed together into a cube that held itself.
Donovan is one of those rare avant garde artists who also has a fantastic aesthetic sense. You can appreciate the beauty, the theories or both.
I found this particular installation neat (is "neat" an outdated adjective?), but I find it hard to appreciate an artist's abilities after just seeing one work.
I saw this with D and loved the 'pin' cube. The security guard told us they need to re 'cube' the pins after awhile because they start to fall out. She also had a piece that was made by inking a series of rubber bands and using them as stamps on a piece of paper. There was something wonderfully compulsive and obsessive about the two pieces that I really loved.
She just won a McArthur grant!
Yes, I saw that she won a McArthur. Very prestigious!
