The MiaSci Young Patrons are holding their 2011 Mixer Season Opener celebrating the launch of Xavier Cortada’s solo exhibit, “90N/90S: North Pole & South Pole Installations." It's Thursday, February 24 from 6:30 to 9:30 pm at the Miami Science Museum (3280 S. Miami Avenue).
$15 cover includes the open bar, appetizers and meet and greet with artist. Mix and mingle with other young professionals. Music is by DJ Pannik.
Also, this will be the first chance you'll have to buy tickets to their Big Bang Gala After Hour Party following MiaSci's Galaxy Gala... for more info on that here.
Xavier Cortada created art at the Earth’s poles to help address environmental issues at every point in between. Cortada placed 24 shoes in a circle around the South and North Poles (in 2007 and 2008, respectively), each shoe serving as a proxy for a person affected by global climate change across 24 time zones. Aside from the shoes, the exhibit features flags that were part of the original installations at opposite ends of the planet, as well as works on paper made by melting Antarctic ice. This is the first time that works from both polar installations are featured as part of one exhibit.
