Shanny talks with Cortney Chaffin, an art historian at UWSP, and Ellen Larson, a PhD candidate at the University of Pittsburgh, about Cai Guo-Qiang. Cai is a Chinese artist renowned for his firework art you have to see to believe. We watched the documentary Sky Ladder, available on Netflix, which documented Cai's effort to complete an art piece he has worked on for decades. We talk about what it takes to create firework art displays, the tension between art and propaganda, and whether seeing his work on film is a sufficient experience. You don't need to know anything about Sky Ladder, or Chinese art, or Cai Guo-Qiang to appreciate our conversation!
