by Tommaso Trini, 1993
Who can say that it hasn’t been Nature itself to suggest a catalytic aesthetic? Cracking Art propose itself as the first artistic movement to mould the most ancient of terrestrial cycles, organic life, with the certainty of being assisted by Nature most modern synthetic gem: plastic. It could have been a verse added to Genesis but related to the future. Cracking Art returns us a contemporary Genesis by making future biblical. That’s why in its Manifesto there is no article before the name, “The Cracking Art” would suggest an artistic current, an umpteenth trend. Cracking Art is an action, maybe a gesture of power as “Let there be light”… and “Let there be Art”.
Cracking Art explores their reciprocal materialistic exchanges between geology and history to obtain a different idea of form, a new form and much more. I believe that it is also contributing to linguistic evolution and I would not hesitate therefore to consider that, following the “ reconstruction of the Universe” aimed by the Futurists, Cracking artists will undergo a “regeneration of the Universe”. If so that would be welcomed, we damned need it. Furthermore, It is worth to observe the way in which they manipulate the eternal dialectic between natural and artificial, between things and names. It is fascinating how they navigate on such a precipice with their small plastic boats. I like to swim in that topic, that vortex. TOMMASO TRINI
