The new exhibit at Winchester Gallery has been a long time coming for fans of Andreana Donahue. Her shows at Main gallery (2007-09) were some of the most interesting in town, featuring local, national and international contemporary art—emerging to established. Knowing that Donahue, a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, is also an artist has long had us wondering when we would see her art? Finally, after a few teasers in group shows, we have Getting Close to the Event Horizon, a hand-cut paper installation by Donahue, in which the artist explores black holes, “impermanence of place” and “illusion of space.” The exhibit is a fearless leap into the magnitude of nature in its explosive, frightening, tender, fragile and dynamic form. Donahue brings us familiar terrain and organic shapes, composed and wild, in a glorious and very contemporary installation of sculptural wall works cut from paper. Worth the wait.
