This is the Doha Museum of Modern Art. It's housed in a a renovated school.
The entire museum was turned over to an exhibit of Cai Quo Qiang, a Chnese artist who usually uses gun powder as his medium.
Two Qatari boats and one boat from Cai's hometown in China.
Gun powder drawing that has been ignited.
Gun powder human images.
Neither the camel or the birds are real.
This spells "fragile" in Arabic. It too is gun powder that Cai sprinkled on to porcelain tiles and then ignited it.
Two details of the "Fragile" panel. The chrysanthemum is hand made porcelain.
99 Horses represents the 99 names of God in the Muslim faith and 99 represents eternity in Chinese culture.

Issey Miake designed the dress. Cia Quo Qiang burned it with gun powder.
Mosques are as ubiquitous in Doha as LDS chapels are in Provo.
