Exhibition Details
Stratagems by Tara Donovan and EARTHSEED DOME by Lily Kwong debut at the Transamerica Pyramid Center as part of ICA SF’s Pyramid Arts initiative during San Francisco Art Week 2026 (Jan 17–25). Donovan presents monumental Stratagems sculptures—five shown publicly for the first time—constructed from thousands of recycled CDs that respond dynamically to light, atmosphere, and the surrounding architecture. Installed in the glass Annex gallery, the vertically oriented works enter into a striking dialogue with the Transamerica Pyramid itself, transforming the site into an immersive convergence of material, urban scale, and perception, alongside Kwong’s nature-driven EARTHSEED DOME installation
