QR 250.00
"Cai Guo-Qiang: Saraab is the artist’s first solo exhibition in the
Arab world and the first exhibition of a solo artist at Mathaf: Arab
Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition showcased seventeen
new, site specific artworks by Cai Guo-Qiang in the context of a
mini-retrospective including recent and rarely-shown works on
paper, canvas and porcelain, documentation of creative process,
and Cai’s collaborations with local volunteers to create a series
of his signature large-scale gunpowder drawings. In Saraab,
Cai Guo-Qiang suggestively juxtaposes cultural symbols and
re-imagines historical connections between Doha, Qatar and his
hometown, Quanzhou, in Southeast China. This book includes
images of each of the newly commissioned ‘Doha Works’; stills
from the spectacular explosion event that marked the exhibition’s
opening; behind-the-scenes shots of the making of the exhibition;
and a representative survey of major past works."
