Project No. 196 - Installation
2006 - Berlin, Germany
Title: Head On
Date: August 26—October 15, 2006
Exhibition: Cai Guo-Qiang: Head On
Institution: Deutsche Guggenheim
Location: Berlin, Germany
Curators: Friedhelm Hutte and Ariane Grigoteit
Materials: 99 life-sized replicas of wolves and glass
Dimensions: Installation dimensions variable
Concept: With few wolves scattered in the front gallery, all ninety-nine wolves run, gallop, and jump toward the far end of the exhibition hall, where a wall stands. The bravery of the wolves is met head on by the unyielding wall. As the leading wolves go down, many more follow with force and determination. As those in the front fall and pile up, those behind take up their positions.
