Cai Guo-Qiang: Sky Ladder is the first West Coast solo museum exhibition of the work of artist Cai Guo-Qiang. Known for his explosion projects and gunpowder drawings, Cai Guo-Qiang’s work integrates manual technique and new, highly sophisticated developments in pyrotechnic technology. The exhibition is composed of an outdoor explosion event, a suspended sculptural installation, three gunpowder drawings, and video compilations, which together press Cai Guo-Qiang’s exploration of natural forces and extraterrestrial life.
