Hanging out in the museum
January 20, 2010

Popped by the Taipei Fine Arts Museum for contemporary Chinese-born artist Cai Guo-Qiang. He is known for his elaborate sculpture installations and gunpowder projects. Looking at his explosive paintings, I wonder what goes through his mind, I guess he has a certain amout of control about the outcome of the explosions, but a large part is uncertain. I think this is really exciting and cool, welding an energy you cannot control, and replicating the explosive action in his still motion installations.
