Cai Guo-Qiang: Une Histoire Arbitraire/An Arbitrary History

Cai Guo-Qiang: Une Histoire Arbitraire/An Arbitrary History Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Written in French and English, this exhibition catalog of the first retrospective of Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang, organized by the Musée d'Art Contemporaine of Lyon, is centered on the links between western and eastern culture. The catalog details the two parts of the exhibit, both of which require the observer to travel via rollercoaster or boat in order to view the works. Revealed is an artist whose perception of space and time is defined by Chinese tradition and is regulated by a movement from sky to earth, not the inverse. A thorough discussion of each installment, color plates of works, a list of works, and a biography of the artist are included.

Synopsis:

An exhibition catalog that illuminates the work of a modern Chinese artist
