julio 2, 2016Let’s regenerate Calais!
This summer, not only Cleveland and Caserta are hosting Cracking Art sculptures but they can also be found in France! Cracking Art animals are invading the city of Calais from the 2nd of July to the 9th of September creating an extraordinary art-itinerary through the most characteristic spots of the city: Grand Theatre, Place de l’Hôtel de Ville, Place d ‘Armes, Tour du Guet and others.
More than 250 artworks appears on the streets of Calais as a tribute to the city citizens and visitors: this urban form of art gives to creativity a colorful and playful aurea able to seduce both young and elder people. Wolves, snails, meerkats, tropical fish and swallows seem to multiply and interact with the surrounding architectures in a peaceful, though ironic, way.
During the exhibition period a fund-raising will be established to raise support for the restoration of Notre-Dame de Calais: Cracking Art mini-sculptures will be available at the special price of 20 €.
This fund-raising initiative is part of the Cracking Art project “Art Regenerates Art” which consists of a a systematic intervention program on artistic and monumental heritage, founded on the idea that contemporary art can save the past and promote concrete actions for the restoration of monuments.
