30. My work is accepted at the Seattle Art Museum, thanks to R. Mutt! [I’m so excited I can hardly stand straight.] Pablo Picasso, untitled engraving 1970, untitled drawing, 1971. Cai Guo-Qiang Inopportune, Stage One, [detail] 2004
Inopportune: Stage One, 2004, and Illusion, 2004, two major works by Cai Guo-Qiang, will be unveiled in SAM’s monumental Forum space when the downtown museum opens May 5-6, 2007. One of the most important and acclaimed artists to have emerged internationally from China, Cai Guo-Qiang was born in Quanzhou in 1957 and later lived in Tokyo, before moving to New York in 1995. The artist initially attracted attention for large-scale gunpowder projects, realized at outdoor sites and urban settings worldwide, and for drawings and sculptures inspired by the ancient myths and aesthetic traditions of China, as well as Western technology, science and art.
Inopportune: Stage One consists of nine identical white cars outfitted with pulsing colored lights. Suspended from the ceiling of the museum, the cars are composed to create a rising and falling that suggests a repeating cinematic loop, arrested in time and space. The cars will take off from the ground of the Brotman Forum in SAM’s newly constructed North Building, and will land in the South Hall, the museum’s former main entrance, in a colorful sequence.
