Slings and Arrows

So Ive been doing a lot of researching on awesome new gallery shows Id like to see and I found the Cai Guo-Qiang exhibition at the Guggenheim called " I want to believe". Id heard about it a bit but didnt know exactually what the fuck was going on until I read up on it some more. All I new previously was it took 6 weeks to install in the space which is like fucking crazy. It runs from now till May 28th and you must go see it! Im going to drag Regis I think over my break because its just breath taking. He takes several Ford Tarus's and suspends them from the ceiling with lights flying out of them which is suposed to look like a fucking car bombing. Theirs also drawings done in Gun Powder and all these collaborative projects of (hand made) Tigers getting shot with arrows based on Japanese folklore, and freaking wolfs! Also all these crazy statues where a new one is made EVERY DAY.



Im totally inspired by things like this givin I do alot of work with my hands and building. I mean sure a lot of my newer work is related more to Impressionism and the whole Cubist movement along with some late Surrealism. But Id really like to start getting into more installation stuff I find it interesting and so intense. I want to work my hands to bone and know I created something worth while with my time. And now that I have the wood shop at school ( one of my many jobs) I can start building more absurd shit haha.



The Guggenheim is located at 1071 5th Avenue at 89th Street, and the show is about 15-18 dollars I think students can get a discount as well. So dont be a bitch and get cultured!
