Cai's Oddysey Houston Gun Powder Art in Houston, Texas

Cai's Oddysey most explosive event will take place Oct. 6 when Chinese gunpowder expert Cai Guo-Qiang creates a unique work of art for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's Arts of China Galleryin a local warehouse. We stopped in for day one where the artists was doing a series of test preps for the big show. Check out what the artists has to say here.(there is an interpreter that will help)

Tickets to the live Houston lighting and explosive creation finale have long been sold out. But if you want to watch the ignition while it happens — from a safe distance — head to Saint Arnold Brewing Company Wednesday evening for a viewing party of the event, which will also be livestreamed on CultureMap.

The party starts at 6 p.m. and the first 100 people to show up get in free courtesy of the MFAH. The rest pay $7 for Saint Arnold's beer, Soma Sushi and Sprinkles cupcakes.
