September 5, 2006: 99 wolves crash into glass
![]() From the "cool art" dep't: It's 99 life-sized wolves, made over a period of six months out of sheepskin, straw, and other such materials. They crash into a thick pane of glass and tumble in confusion onto the floor. The lead animals are the ones crashing, but clearly the pack is headed for the smackdown as well. ![]() It's called "Head On", one part of a three-part installation by Chinese contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang, made as a commissioned piece for the Deutsche Bank Collection in Berlin. ![]() ![]() From the press release: Quote:

Woah! That's incredibly realistic. Why the hell did they need 99 wolves though... they could have done just as well with thirty or forty.

I like this display a lot. I don't really understnad what it's supposed to mean, but I like it still. I really like it that the wolves are made from sheep. I don't know if the artist meant it to be funny, but it is.

Oh. My. God! Disturbing but funny. Metaphor for the human race?
And bugger! Sundaegirl was right. I just caught myself whistling '99 Red Balloons'. Damn the Chinese, so that's their master plan for world domination, not communism but communal whistling of dodgy German tunes! Inscrutable bastards! ![]() |
