// Cai Guo-Qiang @ MOCA Geffen Contemporary
On Saturday, April 7, 2012, artist Cai Guo-Qiang orchestrated a site-specific public explosion for the opening of his “Sky Ladder” exhibition at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. Entitled “Mystery Circle”, this live piece involved 40,000 rockets placed in the formation of an extraterrestrial and crop circles that detonated before the large art crowd in Los Angeles.
The creation of this new gunpowder drawing was overwhelming and terrifying, as seen here in this video documenting the historic event.
