National Gallery of Canada presents Cai Guo-Qiang at Shawinigan Space this summer

It's only the first day of 2006 and I am already looking forward to summer. Who isn't? There's another reason besides the weather issue - a summer exhibition program dedicated to showing one internationally renowned artist is coming to Quebec, at Shawinigan Space. Presented by the National Gallery of Canada, the exhibition Cai Guo-Qiang will be on display from June 10 to October 1, 2006. Cai is a Chinese artist known for his spectacular fireworks projects and large, innovative sculptures and installations. Some of the works in the Shawinigan show were presented last year (December 04 to October 05) in the exhibition "Inopportune" at MASS Moca in Massachusetts.
