The exhibition project includes the installation of 40 colorful snails of various sizes in the courtyard of Cascina Merlata and the park of UpTown Milano. Inaugurated on Tuesday, September 24, it will be open to visitors until January 7.
With the “Look Up” installation by Cracking Art, we are witnessing a peaceful invasion of colorful snails of different shapes, which for the first time will populate the UpTown district.
Through the UpTown art space project, the district positions itself as a cultural hub promoting art in all its forms. In this atmosphere of beauty and creativity, a partnership with the Cracking Art group was born, aimed at exploring an artistic experience that combines a strong social and environmental commitment with the enjoyment of contemporary art.
Why the snail?
The snail, closely connected to the earth, moves peacefully, climbing upwards and defying gravity. Its antennas allow it to continuously and boldly explore the surrounding world. Its shell, which serves as a shelter, is decorated with the spiral of time. So, what are the rules for being a good snail? Be closely connected to the earth, love your home, connect with the world around you, and… don’t be afraid to dream.
The exhibition project is part of the UpTown Green Week 2024 program.
