Art:21 - Cai Guo-Qiang
art:21
2005
Cai Guo-Qiang's fireworks explosions—poetic and ambitious at their core—aim to establish an exchange between viewers and the larger universe. For his work, Cai draws on a wide variety of materials, symbols and traditions including elements of feng shui, Chinese medicine, gunpowder, as well as images of dragons and tigers, cars and boats, mushroom clouds and I Ching.
Cai Guo-Qiang is featured in the Season 3 episode "Power" of the series "Art:21 — Art in the Twenty-First Century."
