Last Monday at the CAC

Thanks to everyone who made it out last Monday for our excursion to see Tara Donovan’s work at the CAC (Contemporary Art Center)!

For those of you who weren’t able to come…I HIGHLY recommend taking a trip of your own to see this delightful, awe-inspiring collection. Comprised entirely of mass produced objects such as Styrofoam cups, toothpicks, buttons, and scotch tape, Donovan’s sculptures drew us in with their organic beauty and then bowled us over with their impressive, meticulous assemblage of commonplace materials. This “ah-ha moment” was especially fun to watch on the faces of a group of school-age children touring the exhibit along with our group. From the magic of the materials to the sublime presence of each individual form, this is truly a show that everyone, of all ages and experience levels will enjoy!

Since the work will be here until May 3, we’re considering going again. If you (and your family) are interested in joining us, please let me (Laura) know and we’ll try to nail down a date that works for all!
