Definitely one of the top art installations of all time… simply amazing.
2006 – Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin, Germany
Title: Head On
Date: August 26—October 15, 2006
Exhibition: Cai Guo-Qiang: Head On
Institution: Deutsche Guggenheim
Location: Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin, Germany
Curators: Friedhelm Hütte 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.

foarte foarte bine. in varianta locala ar functiona cu mistreti
O instalatie sterila intr-un mediu steril, fara o directie clara, alta decat obsesia de neinteles a atator artisti contemporani pentru vulpi, lupi impaiati si alte asemenea experimente taxidermice nereusite. E devalorizarea oricarei idei de creatie, cu un scop unic: şocul. Jegos de-a dreptul.
