When 16,000 dead pigs floated down a river in Shanghai last year, it inspired a lot of questions about China’s environmental conditions and a lot of disgust.
Now, those pigs have helped inspire an arresting exhibit at Shanghai’s contemporary art museum, the Power Station of Art.
The solo show, called The Ninth Wave, opened this month and features the work of a top, Chinese contemporary artist, Cai Guo-Qiang. His installations are grand, provocative and unsettling.
