The Creative Journey of Xavier Cortada
The artistic process, like the scientific process, is a journey where each project or experiment is informed by the one before it. The works in this exhibition are a sample of the many projects Xavier Cortada has created to connect the public with the realities of climate change. Cortada’s journey to the Earth’s poles heightened his desire to pivot his existing social practice to address the climate crisis. These polar works are the precursor to The Underwater series featured in this exhibition which helps people act on what Cortada learned from scientists at the poles.
