For "Importune: Stage One," nine white Chevrolets are arranged within the Guggenheim -- one on the ground floor, another on the top ramp and seven dangling in mid-air. The work is meant to mimic the impact of a car bomb, with the nine cars representing the trajectory of one car ricocheting through the center of the museum.

"Inopportune: Stage One"
Cai Guo-Qiang is internationally acclaimed as an artist whose creative transgressions and cultural provocations have literally exploded the accepted parameters of art making in our time.
This is especially true of Inopportune: Stage One, Cai’s largest installation to date, which presents nine real cars in a cinematic progression that simulates a car bombing, occupying the central atrium of the Frank Lloyd Wright rotunda.
This video documents the incredible installation process of Inopportune: Stage One, which Thomas Krens, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, says "may be the best artistic transformation of the Frank Lloyd Wright space we've
ever seen."
