| | | | Cortada to participate in Biennial of the Americas
Museo de las Americas
861 Santa Fe Drive
Denver, Colorado 80204
June 24th - September 26th, 2010
Xavier Cortada's "Ancestral Journeys" has been selected by curator Maruca Salazar for Museo de las Americas Liberators Project as part of Denver's inaugural Biennial of the Americas. The Biennial is an international event that celebrates the culture, ideas and people of the Western Hemisphere.
Cortada's DNA-based interdisciplinary work depicts the ancestral journeys of this hemisphere's current inhabitants. In their blood they capture evidence of the routes their deep ancestors took from their original journey out of East Africa 60,000 years ago. By marking the appearance and frequency of genetic markers in modern humans, we can determine when and where ancient humans moved around the world.

Opening reception: Sat., June 12th, 7p - 10p
David Castillo Gallery is proud to present DCG Open, a survey exhibition of sixty-six Miami-based artists. The strength and diversity of the artists in DCG Open is massive, impressive, enlightened, and wonderful. Miami has become a place for much discussion regarding the role of the arts, the expansion of private collection museums, the support of public museums, art fairs, the performing arts center, the university museums and everything in between. But in all this, there can only be one center for culture anywhere in the world and that will always remain the artists and their production.

"Ice Paintings" on exhibit at Art Center South Florida
Art Center South Florida
800 Lincoln Road
Miami Beach, Florida 33139
May 12th - June 28th, 2010
Xavier Cortada, recipient of a 2006-2007 National Science Foundation Antarctic Artists and Writers fellowship, traveled to Antarctica to implement a series of projects and installations. While there, the Miami artist created "ice paintings" by melting the very ice that threatens to cause sea levels to rise globally.
Cortada titled the works on paper by randomly selecting the names of geographic features from a map of the continent that inspired their creation.
