The ASC: John Bailey's Bailiwick: Spomenik—Jan Kempenaers and “The End of History”
Beautiful, haunting, gigantic sculptures.

“There are hundreds of them scattered throughout villages and rural landscapes in the former Yugoslavia. Once the site of pilgrimages by schoolchildren, military veterans, patriots, and mourners who had lost family in WWII, these Spomeniks (monuments) are today rarely visited. Often built out of concrete in a style dubbed Brutalism, these secular totems were meant to endure, impervious to the mere march of time—a testament and continuous witness to the new unity of the historically fractious Balkan states—the unity of all the Slavs, YUGOSLAVIA.”

Antony Gormley
Excellent and impressively expansive studies of the human form in space, lead, terra cotta, steel... The "Fields" and "Quantum Clouds" projects are a good place to start, but you could spend hours here.

Shary Boyle
Excellent surreal porcelain sculptures, drawings, etc. Her "Once I had a Child" is used on Canadian supergroup Swan Lake's "Beast Moans" cover. Awesome!

This is delicious. Don't miss the eye fish or the larval horse. Or the tennis ball or the library entrance.
