The comprehensive survey chronicles his unique visual vocabulary encompassing his gunpowder drawings reaching lengths of 100 feet, explosion events caught on video, photographs, and preparatory drawings. Large-scale installations, including a version of Inopportune: Stage One (2004) comprised of nine exploding cars suspended in the central void of the rotunda will also be on view.
