About This Item
South Brisbane: Queensland Art Gallery. 2014. Trade paperback. Fine.. 205 p., illustrations. . A richly illustrated catalogue accompanies 'Cai Guo-Qiang: Falling Back to Earth'. The exhibition's interrelated themes of nature, spirituality and globalisation are a focus of the publication in essays by Australian and international authors, with extensive documentation of the artist's new works. Cai Guo-Qiang also writes on a significant, but lesser-known, aspect of his practice--his collaborations with children. The publication will also trace Cai's unique history with QAGOMA, as one of the first public institutions to collect the artist's work. It follows his early career inclusion in the 'Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art' (1996 and 1999) to the presentation, in 2013, of major new works by an artist at the height of his international career.
Synopsis
Cai Guo-Qiang was director of Visual and Special Effects for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

He currently lives and works in New York. Yuko Hasegawa is chief curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, and prior to that she was chief curator and founding artistic director of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa (1999–2006).
