Friends We Love
a little show about BIG things

Friends We Love is a compelling documentary video series following some of today’s forward-thinking artists and creators as they reveal what propels their creative processes. Distinctive personalities narrate their own journeys through a myriad of trades and disciplines. These insightful portraits ultimately pay tribute to the presence of greatness in the working lives of those we love and hold dear.

ARTBRIDGE BY RODNEY DURSO, FOUNDER

Artbridge, an organization created by artists for artists, whose purpose is to develop, curate and showcase works of large format art for public display and enjoyment. Through Artbridge, artists have the opportunity to exhibit their work to a wider public audience including both the casual observer and art enthusiast alike. All projects are large scale, sometimes taking the artists and viewer into unfamiliar territories and bringing new and interesting influences into the community.

Artbridge takes the experience of art beyond gallery walls, and moves it onto the street where it can be fully experienced. In a city under constant construction and redevelopment, Artbridge installations attempt to interact with pedestrians in a new way, bringing light, color, form and beauty to our daily outdoor world.

Our debut exhibit opened March 19th, 2009. It features abstract works from unrepresented, New York-based artists, and is installed on the facade of an important Chelsea landmark building, London Terrace Gardens located on West 23rd Street between 9th and 10th Avenues in New York City. Artists’ work is publicly and prominently displayed for six months to one year. The collection will be conspicuously displayed and viewable from multiple angles, at street level and above.

Cai Guo-Qiang was born in 1957 in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, China, and lives and works in New York. He studied stage design at the Shanghai Drama Institute from 1981 to 1985 and attended the Institute for Contemporary Art: The National and International Studio Program at P.S. 1, New York. His work is both scholarly and politically charged. Accomplished in a variety of media, Cai began using gunpowder in his work to foster spontaneity and confront the controlled artistic tradition and social climate in China. While living in Japan from 1986 to 1995 he explored the properties of gunpowder in his drawings, leading to the development of his signature explosion events. These projects, while poetic and ambitious at their core, aim to establish an exchange between viewers and the larger universe. For his work, Cai draws on a wide variety of materials, symbols, narratives, and traditions—elements of feng shui, Chinese medicine and philosophy, images of dragons and tigers, roller coasters, computers, vending machines, and gunpowder. Since September 11th he has reflected upon his use of explosives both as metaphor and material. “Why is it important,” he asks, “to make these violent explosions beautiful? Because the artist, like an alchemist, has the ability to transform certain energies, using poison against poison, using dirt and getting gold.” Cai Guo-Qiang has received a number of awards including the 48th Venice Biennale International Golden Lion Prize and the CalArts/Alpert Award in the Arts. Among his many solo exhibitions and projects are “Light Cycle: Explosion Project for Central Park,” New York; “Ye Gong Hao Long: Explosion Project for Tate Modern,” London; “Transient Rainbow,” Museum of Modern Art, New York; “Cai Guo-Qiang,” Shanghai Art Museum; and “APEC Cityscape Fireworks Show,” Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, Shanghai. His work has appeared in group exhibitions including, among others, the São Paulo Bienale (2004); Whitney Biennial (2000); and three Venice Biennales.
