The evening begins with an MIT China Forum talk by Cai in the Tang Center's Wong Auditorium (E51-115) from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m., followed by a dedication of the sculpture and reception at 6:30 p.m. at the MIT Sloan School (E62) at 100 Main Street.

Trained in stage design at the Shanghai Theater Academy, Cai's work has since crossed multiple mediums within art, including drawing, installation, video and performance art. Gunpowder, fireworks and attention-grabbing installations mark his notable works, as does a spectacular pyrotechnics display that was created for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
