Pause - Kiki Smith at The Dragon Museum of Contemporary Art.   Cai Guo-Qiang’s Dragon Museum of Contemporary Art (DMOCA) is a permanent work in the The Echigo-Tsumari Triennial . For the first triennial he transported an ancient 35-metre long kiln from his native province in China and had it painstakingly rebuilt on a remote slope of the Tsunan area. This ongoing art ‘museum’, which Cai curates each triennial, this year features a series of Kiki Smith’s sculptures, appropriately fired from clay, entitled Pause. The exhibition was inaugurated in July with an amusingly official ceremony in which the two artists, the triennial director and the local mayor cut a ribbon with gold scissors. With his characteristic penchant for gunpowder Cai and his assistant symbolically ‘re-fired’ the kiln and re-animated the museum by throwing handfuls of fireworks into its dark interior. DMOCA also acts as a venue for local people to use for performances and poetry readings.   Pause - Kiki Smith at The Dragon Museum of Contemporary Art.
