Join us at the 15th Anniversary celebration of Cortada's Antarctic artwork
CORTADA DELIVERS TED TALK IN LONDON
Artist Xavier Cortada spoke at the TED Countdown event hosted in London, England on Monday, October 3rd, 2022. He talked about using socially engaged art as a tool for engaging, educating, and mobilizing communities around climate action. The TED Talk will likely be released in December 2022.
CELEBRATING 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF
CORTADA'S ANTARCTIC ARTWORK
You’re invited to join Cortada on Wednesday, October 26th, 2022 at 6pm in Pinecrest Gardens’ Hibiscus Gallery for an exhibition opening that features work he created 15 years ago in Antarctica, “The Markers: South Pole” and “150,000-year Journey.” In creating the works, Cortada used the moving ice sheet that blankets the South Pole as an instrument to mark time.
"UNDERWATER GULF" ON EXHIBIT AT
UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI FACULTY SHOW
During summer 2022, Cortada created and placed elevation markers at city halls in four Gulf states – Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana – depicting their elevations above sea level.
By doing this at the very place where city officials make decisions about municipal budgets, as well as land use, planning and zoning, Cortada made visible the threat that sea level rise poses to each city’s future tax base. The 2022 Faculty Exhibition is on view in Wynwood until November 10th, 2022.
