SWEET LOVE EXHIBITION AT SHOPPING CENTRE

The Cracking Art Group, which unites six international artists and was formed in 1993, partenered with EFG Bank of Monaco to organize an exhibition in the Metropole Shopping Centre in Monaco, blending Pop art, Dadaism and arte povera.

The name of the group comes from the thermo chemical process involving cracking molecules and transforming the natural into artificial; organic into synthetic. The artists use oil derivatives and plastic that is heated to 200 degrees and after each installation the works are destroyed and recycled.

The exhibition involve huge coloured plastic animals invading spaces, as a call for awareness in an effort to reinstate humanity as part of nature, not apart from it.  The message of the group is: «The world is in danger. Only the sun should remain as a heat source. All the other fuels should be eliminated. » Worth visiting the exhibition while looking for bargains during the summer sales.
