You no longer have to be a scientist to understand the catastrophic impact of pollution and its friend global warming. In California, we're facing the greatest drought in recorded history; marine animals are choking on our collective waste amid mass plastic contamination in the ocean; in China last year, 16,000 pig carcasses were spotted floating down Huangpu River. Chinese-born, New York-based artist Cai GuoQiang reacts to global environmental catastrophes with his monumental exhibition, "The Ninth Wave," currently on view at Power Station of Art, China's first publicly-funded contemporary art museum in Shanghai. An interdisciplinary show filled with large-scale installations, ceramic works, drawings and even performance, "The Ninth Wave" examines the harrowing after-effects of rampant industrialization with finesse.
