Cracking Art was founded in 1993 with the aim of changing the history of art through a strong environmental commitment which, combined with an innovative use of plastic materials, evokes the close relationship between nature and artificial reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The installation consists of a group of frogs invading the fa\u00e7ade of the Palazzo di Abrantes, ironically evoking their croaking: a background noise that becomes a metaphor for the constant debate surrounding contemporary art. Meanwhile, wolves, swallows, and snails enter the interior of the palace, expressing a characteristic antinomy of our time\u2014between natural and artificial life\u2014in order to convey an \u201calternative\u201d vision of the world and of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exhibition open to the public from March 6, 2026<br>From 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM<br>Tuesday to Saturday; closed on Mondays and public holidays<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of the Italian Contemporary Art Week and ARCO Madrid, the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22482"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22482\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22483,"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22482\/revisions\/22483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
