There’s Going to Be a Paper-Scorching Ka-Booom!
The New York Times has a great story about Cai Gou-Qiang, an artist who works in gunpowder. “The Pyrotechnic Imagination.” It’s pretty cool stuff for a lazy weekend afternoon read.
[I forgot to mention, he has a show at the Guggenheim [link to http://www.guggenheim.org/press_releases/release_200.html no longer works], and their press release states, “For publicity images go to http://www.guggenheim.org/press_office.html [link no longer works] User ID = photoservice Password = presspass”. There’s some high quality art there.]
