Went with a friend to visited the Guggenheim Museum, to see the Cai Guo-Qiang, I Want to Believe exhibit.
A few shots of his Inopportune: Stage One exhibit before security started to jump all over me about photography being prohibited. It looked to me, like the days of prohibition considering every other person there seemed to have a camera in their hands and there was no sign indicating the restriction until you reached the ticket counter inside, after wasting the time waiting on the line from around the block outside.
The shots are blurry being shot hand held in low light.
Complaint out of the way, the exhibits using gunpowder were interesting, using a tool of deconstruction for construction. Some of the loftier goals of his Extraterrestrials project were interesting like the concept of a unified social structure without borders or boundaries, others I will probably never understand as I was rushed a bit since they were closing.
The scale of his works are impressive and if you have the time for contemplation, check it out.
