You have to appreciate the forthrightness of a sculptor like the Belgrade-born Mojsilov, who joked with a reporter a few years ago that his art is mainly about “turning rocks into expensive rocks.” To be sure, this show, which includes works from recent years along with maquettes and photos of large-scale public commissions, demonstrates that there’s a bit more going on—often involving thick steel rods that thread through or impale forms carved from granite or limestone, or, as in Basin, “sew” together two massive slabs of rock. In all, Mojsilov’s work is brash and muscular, but also imbued with striking sensuousness and grace. 3012 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612-344-1700; www.flanders-art.com
