Wasn't in class today
Art in America June/June 2005
"Taiwan's New Bunker Museum"
This museum was founded by a artist we viewed in class recently, Cai Guo- Qiang. This museum he created is meant to represent the bunkers created for Kinmen to prevent invasion of Taiwan. Cai msut have been greatly affected by the wars going on. In the video I remember it said that he was a soldier. The museum have a very interesting interior, resembling mud on the walls, and very small windows. I can only imagine how being a soldier would afffect your artwork. He is most famous for his gun powder works- His work is alot like mine. He takes his personal experiences and shows them in different ways to the public.
