Christopher "Chris" Burden is an American artist working in performance, sculpture, and installation art. Burden’s early work is characterized by the idea that the truly important, viable art of the future would not be with objects; the things that you could simply sell and hang on your wall. His work has subsequently shifted, focusing now on monumental sculptures and large scale installations, such asB-Car (1975), The Big Wheel (1979), A Tale of Two Cities, (1981), Beam Drop (1984, 2008), Samson (1985), Medusa’s Head (1990), L.A.P.D. Uniforms (1993), and Metropolis II(2010). These works often reflect the social environments, make observations about cultural institutions, and examine the boundaries of science and technology.

Wendell Castle is an American furniture artist and a leading figure in American craft. He is often credited with being the father of the art furniture movement. Celebrated American designer/craftsman Wendell Castle (1932-) has been creating unique pieces of handmade sculpture and furniture for over four decades. Since the outset of his career, Castle has consistently challenged the traditional boundaries of functional design and established himself as the father of the American studio furniture movement. Castle is renowned for his superb craftsmanship, his whimsically organic forms and his development of original techniques for shaping solid, stack-laminated wood. His iconic masterpieces in wood and in Technicolor gel-coated fiberglass from the late 1960s and 1970s are fast becoming some of the most important and coveted examples of 20th century design.
