Did anybody else catch this exhibition? I was floored by the sheer scale and meaning for each piece. I unfortunately had to run through it as I came near closing time. Never seen anything like it.

Wow, glad you had a glance. I'll be going sometime this week...will leave some thoughts after I see it. Sounds like you were impressed... I'm getting more excited to see this in person.

Love these. Which one are you getting Hung? j/k funny guy... well, getting on my connecting flight to boston soon but will be back to NY on friday. definitely looking forward to this. i know several people have wondered whether CGQ uses real wolves in his installations... found this in the josh keyes forum "The wolves were produced in Quanzhou, China, from January to June of 2006. The commissioned local workshop in Cai’s hometown specializes in manufacturing remarkable, life-sized replicas of animals. First, small clay models were created as movement studies, out of which Cai subsequently developed Head On’s artist editions of cast resin wolves. However, the realistic and lifelike 99 wolves that grew out of these models and drawings possess no literal remnants of wolves: they are fabricated from painted sheepskins and stuffed with hay and metal wires, with plastic lending contour to their faces and marbles for eyes."   |

That particular piece worked real well in the Guggenheim as it is on the circular ramp section, not a large room. So you walk around it as it processes from the wolves on the ground to the air. And as they are pretty lifelike (can't imagine the time that went into it as each one is very particular and unique) it feels like you are in the middle of the action. It kind of felt like I was in a Josh Keyes painting.
Also, I read he is doing a lot of work for the opening Olympic Ceremonies, I wonder what that will be like.
