WE ARE by Cai Guo-Qiang



Internship experienceSeptember 2024 – Los Angeles, CA
Exhibit design, event production

As an exhibit design intern, I assisted in the production and coordination of an immersive gunpowder-based art installation WE ARE by artist Cai Guo-Qiang in collaboration with the Getty Museum. I  worked with Cai and other notable international artists to set up over 50 props and perform quality control on visual artwork elements, exhibition placards, and displays.

Original photograph taken during a test run of the gunpowder and fireworks-based performance at the LA Memorial Coliseum.
The performance featured choreographed fireworks and gunpower-based displays, for which I helped set up props.
An event placard, an example of exhibit materials and displays for which I helped with production and quality control.
The team I worked with helped set up props for the performance based on the artist’s specifications.
