Poudre à canon brûlée sur papier Xuan Burned gunpowder on Xuan paper
Acquisition 1997
Cai Guo-Qiang utilise ici la poudre à canon, un matériau traditionnel inventé dans la Chine ancienne et que l'artiste rattache d'un point de vue symbolique à notre ère technologique nucléaire. Fascinés par la théorie cosmologique moderne, les astrophysiciens et les physiciens tels que Stephen Hawking, l'artiste relie les anciennes formes de savoir au champ universel englobant la Terre, les planètes et l'Univers entier. Il cherche également à fusionner
les connaissances artistiques et scientifiques pour créer un nouveau langage qui abolit la frontière entre ces deux disciplines. Sur un papier fragile, évoquant la tradition
de la peinture chinoise sur rouleau, il enregistre via un procédé d'explosion ses spéculations sur les trous noirs et autres mystères physiques de l'Univers. Considérant le rejet de la tradition par la modernité européenne comme un obstacle au progrès, l'artiste trace une nouvelle voie où les savoirs anciens éclairent les découvertes contemporaines.

Cai Guo-Qiang uses gunpowder, a traditional material invented in ancient China,
which he symbolically links to our age of nuclear technology. Fascinated by modern cosmological theory, astrophysicists, and physicists such as Stephen Hawking,
Cai connects ancient forms of knowledge to the universal field encompassing Earth,
the planets, and the entire universe.
He also seeks to merge artistic and scientific knowledge to create a new language that breaks down the boundaries between these two disciplines. On a fragile sheet of paper, reminiscent
of the tradition of Chinese scroll painting, he records his speculations on black holes and other cosmic mysteries through a gunpowder explosion process. Viewing the rejection of tradition by modern Europe as an obstacle to progress, Cai Guo-Qiang charts a new course in which ancient knowledge illuminates contemporary discoveries.
