Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Fabric Workshop and Museum Collaborate to Present an Exhibition of Works by Artist Cai Guo-Qiang

Artist to Create 'Explosion Event' Outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Gunpowder Drawing at Fabric Workshop and Museum on December 11

The Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Fabric Workshop and Museum will present a multi-site exhibition Cai Guo-Qiang: Fallen Blossoms. A poetic meditation on the passage of time, memory, and memorializing, the exhibition will feature one of the artist's signature "explosion events," Fallen Blossoms: Explosion Project, that has been specifically commissioned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art for the opening on Friday December 11; a live gunpowder drawing creation event will follow immediately at the Fabric Workshop and Museum.

Inspired by the memory of Anne d'Harnoncourt (1943-2008), late director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and her long friendship with the founder and artistic director of the Fabric Workshop and Museum, Marion Boulton Stroud, Cai Guo-Qiang: Fallen Blossoms addresses themes of memory, loss and renewal on a personal and public level. It is Cai's first solo exhibition in Philadelphia and the first in the United States since his retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in early 2008.
