Tara Donovan at Pace Gallery

Known for her masterful use of repeated materials, New York artist Tara Donovan has been busy lately with styrene cards, intuitively stacking the plastic slips in patterns that hint at the natural world, digital patterns and more.  (At Pace Gallery’s 24th Street location through March 18th).

Martin Creed at Hauser & Wirth

Martin Creed’s exhibition at Hauser & Wirth’s 69th Street location includes portraits painted by leaping high in the air with a paintbrush, stacking sculptures based on mathematical ratios and room-altering minimal, monumental wall paintings.  None seem to involve much effort on Creed’s part to create – this being his signature style – yet each will definitely create a reaction.  (Through Dec 21st ).
