In collaboration with the Duomo and Opera d’Arte in Milan, international art collective Cracking Art Group created and placed 50 blue snail sculptures on the cathedral’s roof to call attention to much-needed repairs and restoration. The snails, a motif commonly used by the group, are made from recycled plastic and allude to the gradual deterioration of the architecture. What an incredibly fun and creative endeavor!

This is so cool and eerie. I love how vivid the snails are in the fog covered, rustic town. Love it.

How fun! Look at how the blue pops in comparison to the gray sky and cathedral color. I was in Milan a couple weeks ago (the Duomo is freaking incredible!!!) and they were working on restoration, but I couldn’t see the snails from way down below. They did have giant billboards where the restoration was taking place which was a total eyesore! Blue snails are way better.

We have snails identical to these that are popping up in the most unexpected places near our downtown square! A large pink one and a smaller blue one. I think they are connected with our new museum, Crystal Bridges, and new hotel 21C.
The Soos Is Loose
Going up on the roof of The Duomo is one of the highlights of Milan! This is a really quirky addition to the experience, and it sounds like a fun contemporary way to call attention to the deterioration of the era with which it is coexisting!
