Cai Guo-Qiang

Today I went with a few thousand of my best friends (there were swarms of people there) to the Taipei Art Museum to catch the end of an exhibiton by the famous Chinese performance artist Cai Guo-Qiang. He uses a gunpowder to make a lot of his works which creates some cool effects. However, I wasn't allowed to take pictures of the two coolest pieces of his work (I'll try and Google Image them and post later). That said the stuff here is still pretty cool.


This was in a similar fashion as sculpture in the Cultural Revolution and was made of weak clay so it would intentionally fall apart.

This was the enterance to the museum. There were 5-6 Chevy's hung like this and shooting lights.


Boat with broken porcelain. Not really sure what is was supposed to represent.
