Sol LeWitt's wall drawings and structures. His work spanned from works on paper to monumental structures outdoors and inside spaces. Often progressions of geometric forms (he was originally inspired by the motion capture photography of Eadweard Muybridge), and often reactions to the spaces they occurred in. See more via here.
Jenny Holzer's projections. Subverting the expected commercial voice inherant in the medium of billboards/public projections or broadcast, she creates interventions on the public space with intimate, personal, directly arresting messages. Highlighting the individual voice, comforting the oppressed, showing defiance against political or commercial mind-control and propaganda. See more via here and here
Peepshow exhibitions demonstrating exciting and surprising use of construction and collage to build installations and large scale illustrations. Looking forward to their next one starting next week.

David Tremlett's Drawings for Spaces. Often ephemeral drawings in pastel, which can be almost blown or wiped away, other times more permanent. His works are again site-specific. and use colours and shapes which respond to the environments in which they are created, such as using dusts taken from the earth to make pigments, or drawing shapes which echo the play of light on a ceiling, as shown below.
