An amazing mid-career retrospective for Cai Guo-Qiang titled I Want To Believe begins today at the Guggenheim.

The museum website describes the artist as "exploding the accepted parameters of art making in our time". This is immediately evident in Inopportune: Stage One, which includes nine real cars, suspended from the museum ceiling, simulating a car bombing. Other examples in the exhibit include Head-on, a collection of 99 life-size, stuffed replicas of wolves charging over viewers' heads headlong into a glass wall, and Borrowing Your Enemy's Arrows, on loan from the permanent collection at MOMA.

Overall, there are more than 80 works in the show, which runs until May 28th. It should not be missed.
