Art 21 Reaction

I was super excited about seeing Cai Guo-Qiang. I was not disappointed! I had never heard of anyone doing paintings out of explosions, and it was really cool! The effect was awesome and I loved that you never really knew what you would get! I loved his pieces of arrows or something sticking out of the tigers and cars. They were great because it caused the influence on the audience that he intended--pain. It really was uncomfortable to look at the tigers especially.

Oliver Herring was AWESOME!!! I had never heard of him before, and just the opening scene inspired me! It made me want to do something similar--like a video of somekind. I also loved loved loved the photographs of the men with paint on their face. It was really cool to see how he did it and then watch him while he took the photographs and see how he captured the vulnerability he was talking about. I could totally see it! The photographs were stunning.
