the Fireworks by Grucci compound evokes a military test range of the desert West. A network of lonely gravel roads is studded with metal shipping containers, or "magazines," each containing the raw materials of fireworks displays, ringed by hulking berms to prevent a chain of accidental explosions. In nearby cinder-block buildings, specialists wearing static-free clothing are at work "packing programs," or assembling the sequences of color and sound that will embroider the night sky for some future audience.
Mr. Guo-Qiang's medium of choice for this "drawing," titled "Transient Rainbow," is gunpowder. Various grades are employed, each for its own effects, some diluted with a compound called "Realgar," an orangish substance used in traditional Chinese medicine -- appropriate, really, since gunpowder, whose Chinese name means "fire medicine," was devised by an alchemist seeking an elixir to give the emperor eternal life. Rounding out Mr. Guo-Qiang's arsenal are Rice Krispies coated in black powder (talk about Snap, Crackle, Pop!).With each large-scale explosion event, Mr. Guo-Qiang creates accompanying gunpowder drawings.

Born in 1957 in Quonzhou City, Fujian Province, and now based in New York City, Mr. Guo-Qiang's globally renowned work has ranged from small-scale "gunpowder drawings" to full-scale fireworks-like spectaculars (he prefers the phrase "explosion events," to differentiate his work from the more straightforward, ooh-aah artistry of Grucci's

What happened the day of the Triangle Fire? What progressed after it? On Saturday, March 25, 1911. At 4:25, which was 5 minutes before closing time at the Triangle Shirt Factory. The Triangle factory, owned by Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, was located on the top three floors of the Asch Building, floors 8, 9, and 10. Some cutters were smoking, even though it was prohibited.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 was one of the most lethal workplace tragedies in American history. 141 young women died that day, because of their unsafe work conditions.

The average American people did not knew anything about this kind of weapon, so this might be a reason why it caused so many victims.

After analyzing these locations, they discovered 2 plants that
Fireworks are one of those things that everyone loves to see every chance they can get. Acme Fireworks wants to start showing fireworks on the regular basis, but it will cost more to hire more people for the labor, insurance, and the service of setting off the fireworks.

Cai Guo-Quiang falls under the category of Romanticism he uses gunpowder, an item normally used to cause destructions, to create his artworks.
