The Guggenheim in NYC presents a very impressive and interesting show by Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang. Given the current situation in Tibet, this exhibition comes at a right time since it denounces the horrors and un-exisiting human rights in China. Among other material, the artist uses gunpowder on amazing installations or paintings. Even if the facade of the Museum is currently being renovated, this show is definitely worth the visit.
"Cai Guo-Qiang is internationally acclaimed as an artist whose creative transgressions and cultural provocations have literally exploded the accepted parameters of art making in our time. This is especially true of Inopportune: Stage One, Cai’s largest installation to date, which presents nine real cars in a cinematic progression that simulates a car bombing, occupying the central atrium of the Frank Lloyd Wright rotunda."
