Tim Hawkinson

I discovered that there was a Tim Hawkinson exhibit at the Whitney by looking at Carolina's What's In Your Bag submission. If you haven't heard of the guy, he is a sculptor who makes enormous instruments like the Uberorgan, a stadium-sized organ made out of several miles of inflatable plastic sheeting, as well as curious ways of depicting his own body (including sculpting a tiny bird out of his own fingernail clippings, very Tom Friedman-y). Here's some information from the Whitney site, and another from Art 21 on PBS.
