Art Cai Guo-Qiang: I Want to Believe
-
- Cai Guo-Qiang, Cry Dragon/Cry Wolf: The Ark of Genghis Khan, Courtesy Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
Inopportune: Stage One is characteristic of Cai Guo-Qiang's grand ambitions and themes — a cascade of nine upended cars exploding with rays of light, it fills the Guggenheim's eight-story rotunda, announcing the museum's first solo exhibition of a China-born artist. Surveying Cai's art objects, the show includes his gunpowder drawings, massive sculptural installations, and grand choreographed fireworks displays. The artist also enjoys patronage of a high-ranking sort: he's the mastermind behind the opening and closing ceremonies at this summer's Beijing Olympics.
