Wild Rising arrives to the Garden’s desert trails October 12 and is included in the cost of general admission and membership. The vibrant art forms are the creations of Cracking Art, a collective of artists who specialize in plastic as an artistic medium with the intention of radically changing the history of art through a strong social and environmental commitment. The creatures featured in Wild Rising not only capture the magnificence of nature but also address global and local sustainability and conservation issues, including climate change, plastic in the oceans and the importance of recycling. Visitors of all ages will be drawn to engage with these vibrant creatures and discover their messages of stewardship for our environment. With 12 installations, visitors will see 20 penguins posing among the cactus and 40 majestic grey wolves guarding the Sybil B. Harrington Cactus and Succulent Galleries. Cracking Art, founded in 1993, named the collective after the process of converting raw crude oil into plastic, or “cracking.” The artworks appear unexpectedly in everyday places, inviting passersby to reexamine their perspectives. The Garden has worked with Cracking Art to curate a dozen larger-than-life animal vignettes. The sculptures’ brilliant colors and monumental sizes will capture the amusement of all ages, but Cracking Art hopes the creatures spark a deeper dialogue about environmental issues.
