EU Climate Diplomacy Day | Naming of Antarctic Ice Paintings: Global Coastlines
September 27, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm

Xavier Cortada will participate in EU Climate Diplomacy Day.
On September 27, 2018, at the Storer Auditorium in the Miami Business School, the artist will engage the audience in his DO NOT OPEN performance, asking them to write letters to the future. The artist will also invite five General Consuls to randomly select one of the 60 paintings the artist made by melting Antarctic ice and name it after one of their own country’s coastal cities made vulnerable by the melting of that same Antarctic ice. The five European consuls will be the first to randomly name the Global Coastlines series of the Antarctic Ice Paintings. The remaining 55 works will be named at a ceremony in Pinecrest Gardens Hibiscus Gallery on November 29, 2018, see http://hibiscusgallery.com/about-2018-icepaintings.
