- Gun powder is Cai Guo Qiang's calling card, as the artist behind the fireworks displays of the Beijing Olympics, having also won the coveted Golden Lion award at the Venice Biennale, Cai Guo-Qiang stands today as a bona-fide rock-start in the world of arts. From his "Explosion of Ants" to his gun powder drawings, to his monumental installations, his art is unique, and one seen it's never forgotten.
He uses the very things invented by his Chinese forefathers - paper and gunpowder! A brilliant artist who has never lost touch with his roots. I love it that his entire interview was done in Mandarin.
Taping into his heritage with the usage of gunpowder to create the explosions is very eye-opening! This shows how you can intertwine your roots into art.
Thank you for this. I have till now been skeptical of installations as Art. But Cai's works have not only changed my mind but also gained a new perspective on the Artist's dialogue with his environment.
I felt the same way!
Thanks! My teacher recomended this for my test.
Love this! such brilliance and joy. thank you
Very cool to see how that explosion painting works!

Love this interview! In Spain there is a traditional festival every June for a week, they light up a whole square of firecrackers!

thank you for making this great video (though subtitles would have been helpful) - Cai is such an amazing artist and person and I love how this video explains exactly the progress of his gunpowder work, never seen this in another video about him
Awesome! Amazing! Explosive!
my favourite artist in the world
amazing , respect
You have to see this work in person. The beauty of it was that I appreciated it as art even before I knew how it was made. So it succeeds as a traditional artwork as well as a conceptual piece. Absolutely brilliant.
Beautifull
Awesome!
Super !
how to paiting explosion work ?
The PRODUCER of the FLASH should contract this guy to do a pyrotechnics effects on HOW the FLASH RUNS and trains hes first run in real life.

Maravilhoso!
super 1
DEMAGOGIA PURA Y DURA
one of a kind......
Unique
i could understand what cai guo qiang is talking about without looking at the subtitles because i am chinese and i am originally from china
Read “The Hundred Year Marathon” by Michael Pillsbury.
Oh come on, what happened to the hater comments that Chinese can only copy and cannot create & innovate?
Nij Jin, the point is whether or not there is theft involved. The nationality does not matter.
I'm in Kentucky Cai. C'mon down. We can blow some stuff up and make some art. ✌
You wish. :D
Don't look at it if you don't like it!!!

Kinda annoying to hear westerners pronouncing Chinese name wrongly. His last name is pronounced "Chai" (as in "chase"), not "Sai".
pepperpru it’s totally ok, as I think, sometimes we pronounce others name in a wrong way.
Not Cai?
Chai as in Chi-Com? This is the same guy who thought there was “art” in the explosion of 9/11…throw him out of the United States!
they hate Christmas what fools
Nof respect bro
牛逼
Unique Wang 的确
Does he use the reall stuffed animals? Then he's no further from destructive nature chinese bring to the whole world
I was wondering about that as well, looked it up and found: animal replica, fake wolves. I did not find more information yet.
On the other hand, a lot of people sadly use all kinds of animal parts... so even if the fur is actual animal fur, why should we be criticising that an not criticise the usage of animal based paint brushes, leather as a working material etc... I'd never buy art that contains animal products :)
A true original, he has so many copy cats who cannot even touch him. Looking at one particularly mediocre artist in Oklahoma named “Jay Sage” who flat out stole his explosion drawing technique and uses it for bible verse art…
Sai Guoqiang ???? Ahahahaha
too much narrative and not enough art
Then go to an exhibit, it's clearly a video biography.
Wtf is this dumb comment... The video is p a c k e d with his artworks.
Fireworks, GREAT! 90% of everything else, boring to me.
One would think the dude could learn English during his decades dealing in America . Also wonder who first financed his stuff; something of a spoiled child here I think.
That firework is so toxic for invironment and for our health.did anybody think about that?
so are u comment!!
think about cars, planes, industries, etc.
The Chinese don't give a shit about that!
The guy is 60, I say it's not that bad.
they do care omfg😄😄
ugh all that air pollution. no thanks
Do you drive a car, travel in a bus, go on holiday by plane?
Give me a break. Art is never pollution. Do you use toilet paper? Do you use a computer/phone to write these comments? Guess what, you're a polluter.
Like his art works, so much dislike the explosion "artwork". 哗众取宠。
Can someone here justify the air pollution & environment degradation created by such nuisance experiments ??
N further more if tomorrow this so called contemporary artist experiments with bomb explosives or radioactive substances or animal parts or something, will we so called humans blindly appreciate this Foolishness ???
that´s art? that´s a genius? What a Rubbish!
salvador200369 I will like to heard your case.
Nij Jin Are you taking to me?
Why? What i suppose to archive in my face? what a kind of stupid are you?
Please tell me what your definition of art is? Why rubbish? Have you clearly think through and comment?
I think these paintings are great and instead of saying rubbish so easily for someone elses life work, it might be better if you think twice. Meditation doesn't seem to work so much on you..
