- Whether addressing the dynamic of personal space versus public space, or exploring the fine line between strength in numbers and homogeneity, Do-Ho Suh’s sculptures continually question the identity of the individual in today’s increasingly transnational, global society. Do-Ho Suh represented Korea at the 2001 Venice Biennale. A retrospective of the artist’s work was held jointly at the Seattle Art Museum and the Seattle Asian Art Museum in 2002. Major exhibitions of Suh’s work have also been held at the Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris (2001), the Serpentine Gallery, London (2002), and the Kemper
- Untitled Snowfall (neighbors)Motor, steel, aluminum, plaster, plastic.20” x30”x60”In this piece, sixteen miniature spikes pick and scrape against the disk suspended in the mechanism. The powder that falls away settles onto a small (6”) snow covered suburban landscape suspended just above the floor. At first sinister then quaint, it is only after a few moments that the viewer realizes the tranquility of the snowfall has covered the windows and doors and shows no signs of slowing.

- Vestigial Implementpencils, glue36" x 18" x 20" Jessica Drenk was raised in Montana, where she developed an appreciation for the natural world that remains an important inspiration to her artwork today. Tactile and textural, her sculptures highlight the chaos and beauty that can be found in simple materials. Drenk's work is also influenced by systems of information and the impulse to develop an encyclopedic understanding of the world. In 2006, Drenk was awarded the International Sculpture Center's Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award.
- Cornelia ParkerEarlier, she convinced the British Army to blow up a garden shed and organized the debris around a light bulb with an awe-inspiring sense of space, movement, shadow, and positive/negative form with Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View (1991). "With the garden shed, I was the person who killed off the object, whereas the church was killed off by lightning—and the piece is resurrected in the gallery—like a cartoon character," says Parker. Cornelia Parker is a british installation artist and she has an interest in materials which have been sunject to some sort of violent act. For example the above installation;called Anti-Mass: is made up of timber from an arsoned church. For the piece show below Parker filled a ordinary garden shed with a jumble of items from car boot sales and then asked the British Army to blow it up! She then collected the debris and carefully assembled it into the installation Cold Dark Matter; An Exploded View (1991). It gives the effect that the explosion has been frozen in time.

- Plaza2005enamel paint and plastic bagsdimension variablePlaza 's inspiration came from an incident that Lambie witnessed on the streets of Glasgow, Scotland - milk leaking from a hole in the bottom of a red shopping bag, unwittingly carried by a shopper on the way home. The seven shopping bags that compose Plaza hover above the floor at a height similar to where they would be if one were carrying them full of food. The piece becomes abstract as liquid pours out of the bags in stream of color down to the floor. Blurring the line between painting and sculpture, Lambie also blurs the line between everyday reality and art.
- In Batchelor's own words, "Our cities are saturated with glowing, flashing, colored light and innumerable bright, shiny, or fluorescent surfaces. This for me is where color begins.... in the swatch books for commercial paints, lightening gels and neon and Plexiglas." Batchelor incorporates raw industrial color into simple, abstract compositions that highlight its naturally found state. In The Spectrum of Hackney Road I, old warehouse dollies become frames for low-rider light. Called by the artist himself "dirty readymades for shiny monochromes", the work abstracts and condenses contemporary urban environments
- First gained attention for her autobiographical and psychologically loaded sculptures in the 1960s, Louise Bourgeois is said to have inspired a whole generation of feminist artists of the 80s and 90s. Couple II which suggests adolescent confusion belongs to a series of sculptural works she began in the 1990s. For Bourgeois who participated in the family business of tapestry restoration since she was very young, the piecing together of the fabric in this sculpture must have seemed a natural process.
