The works, in a variety of sizes and colours, invade urban spaces\u00a0with a fairytale poetry that seeks empathy.<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">\u201cCracking\u201d comes from the english verb \u201cto crack\u201d, which express the state of being\u00a0split or broken.\u00a0This catalytic cracking is also the term for the chemical reaction that occurs when\u00a0converting raw\u00a0crude oil into plastic, and the very moment when something natural becomes\u00a0artificial. By invading the urban\u00a0fabric, Cracking Art aims to\u00a0sensitise\u00a0mankind in its increasingly artificial and anonymous mass culture that is gradually losing touch with\u00a0natural and cohesive values.<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">Cracking Art brings culture and art amidst the people: as occasions to reflect, share\u00a0and playfully participate with everyone.<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">Convinced that contemporary artists must contribute to the preservation of art and its memory, since\u00a02012 Cracking Art has been active with the project \u201cArt Regenerates Art,\u201d which creates sculptures for fundraising dedicated to\u00a0artistic conservation (and relevant social\u00a0projects). For Ascona, this will be allocated for\u00a0an important ethical and social cause: the\u00a0restoration of Ascona\u2019s chapels and frescoes.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Municipal Museum of Modern Art Ascona \/ Village of Ascona Cracking Art [&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-6208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6208","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=6208"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6208\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6571,"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6208\/revisions\/6571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crackingart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
