In the April 2013 edition of Smithsonian Magazine, Ron Rosenbaum wrote about his interview with the artist Cai Guo-Qiang in his article entitled "Burning Man".
Born in China, Cai Guo-Qiang now lives in the US and displays his art around the world. His medium: explosives. Some of his art that may be familiar to most people is the display of explosions he created for the opening of the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
The interview with Cai Guo-Qiang is fascinating as Rosenbaum discovers the deeper meaning for the artists choice in medium and his art by learning about his childhood, his father's life, and his own hope for eyes, beyond just the Earth, to view his art. Rosenbaum describes Cia Quo-Qiang's art as: "Violence transformed into ethereal beauty."
