Tara Donovan in ‘Grounded’ at Pace Gallery

Tara Donovan’s ‘Colony’ is a standout in Pace Gallery’s group exhibition, ‘Grounded,’ which gives the floor to artwork created to be displayed on the ground.  Donovan’s signature premise – an accumulation of ordinary small things makes an excellent big thing – is now art-making orthodoxy, but no one does it quite like Donovan.  (At Pace Gallery’s 534 West 25th Street location through Feb 22nd.)
