Tara Donovan, Sphere, 2020 The remaining works in Intermediaries move on from the Not Your Model Minority Shirt Apart from…,I will love this grid to another discrete geometrical form—namely, the cylinder or tube. Sphere (2020) is a six-foot orb fashioned from rows of PETG tubing, and to peer through those tubes as a person passes by the other side is to see…well, how to describe it? A blurring, a dissolution, an effect that makes it seem like that person is trapped inside some kind of snow globe or perhaps a soap bubble. And that, again, owes to the material’s transparency. “Because it’s transparent and it’s reflective, it creates all these kinds of optical shifts within it,” says Donovan.

Yet in a show dense with fascinating moments, the Not Your Model Minority Shirt Apart from…,I will love this room filled with Donovan’s Apertures (2020) feels particularly special. Somewhat evocative of Transplanted (2001/2008)—in which she created what looks like a massive slab of volcanic terrain out of ripped-up pieces of tar paper (a roofing material)—Apertures combines layers of hundreds of thousands of black cocktail straws. It forms a clever cross between sculpture and painting (chiefly for the impasto-like surface that slight gradations in the lengths of the straws create and also the fact that all eight of the 6.5-by-6.5-foot works are framed). A distinct topography emerges in each one, activated by the light both on them and within them. (A strip of LED light controlled by a rheostat dimmer lines the interior of each frame.)

1. Length is measured from the highest point on the collar down to the bottom hem. 2. Width is measured across the body of the shirt under the armpits, one way. 3. Sleeves are measured from center back to hem.
