If you’re looking for something inspiring in the city, Budget Travel has just published an article about Cai Quo-Qiang’s exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum.
Currently working on the special effects for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, the exhibit at the Guggenheim focuses on two decades and eight major installations of his career. Entitled I Want to Believe, it includes nine cars suspended from the dome of the museum.
The article reads, “Suspended by cables, seven white Chevrolet Metro sedans are pierced with tubes of blinking yellow, red, green and blue lights to simulate the stages of a bomb explosion. They appear to be floating in mid-air as the cables aren’t very visible. An eighth car is parked in the lobby; the ninth car occupies the sixth floor”
If this exhibit is any indication, the ceremonies of the Olympics are going to be quite a show.
