Cai Guo-Qiang's work is so potent it is difficult to forget. I'm still geeking out about it since I first saw his "I want to believe" -exhibited at the Guggenheim- His use of gunpowder as a medium is brilliant. It provides a sense of chaos in the outcome. There is something about the way he implicitly describes the action and chaos that forces the viewer to absorb the experience of simply viewing or inspecting the work. And watching him "perform" or create one of these pieces makes them that much more enjoyable.
