This Week’s Theme is:
Creativity and Curiosity/Sense of Adventure
Two high-powered artists from China were featured at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics opening ceremony; the rebel artist, Ai Weiwei, who teamed up with builders and architects to design the “Bird’s Nest”, or Beijing National Stadium, and Cai Guo-Qiang, who designed the opening fireworks display. The stadium will be used again for the Olympics in 2022, but let's focus on Cai, who is at the top of his game on a giant scale.
