Tara Donovan does it again with two new sculptures at Chelsea’s Pace Gallery created in her signature style – multiplying an everyday object by millions to create a wondrous installation. Here, index cards suggest fairy chimneys or termite mounds to astonishing effect. (Through June 28th).

Art applauds nature in Berlin-based American sculptor David Adamo’s hand-made, ceramic termite mounds. Called “exceptionally appealing as objects” by the New York Times, the mini-mounds are smaller than they’d appear in nature but invite wonder at insect engineering. (At Untitled Gallery on the Lower East Side through Oct 20th).
