Reticulated Flatwoods Salamanders – Endangered Animals
Only 3 left in stock / Shipping Available
As part of his public art installation at Ft. Drum plaza along the Florida Turnpike, Cortada’s “Endangered Animals” series allowed the artist an opportunity to showcase a variety of endangered animals that have been affected by habitat loss due to overdevelopment.
Each of these signed, numbered, limited-edition prints (edition of 5) showcases a specific endangered animal that has been affected by habitat loss due to human impacts. The artist, Xavier Cortada, hopes through the elasticity and potential of art that we may find a better way to coexist with nature before these animals become extinct.
Prints from the “Endangered Animals” series are in the collection of Florida’s Department of State in Tallahassee, as well as having been exhibited at the Orlando Science Center and The Frank (Frank C. Otis Gallery and Exhibit Hall) as part of the artist’s overarching “Florida is…Nature” exhibition. They also were included in the artist’s solo exhibition at Creative Pinellas.

Satin Leaf
Only 3 left in stock / Shipping Available
As part of the artist’s social practice, the “Native Flags” project, initiated by Xavier Cortada in 2008, serves to have its participants make a literal declaration of war against climate change, as well as making a symbolic gesture of reclamation by nature.
Seen throughout Cortada’s work is a focus on developing signifiers within communities. In “Native Flags”, the green project flag that accompanies the performance behaves as a statement of reclamation, a point of departure for participants to initiate new action. In turn, the environmental impact of “Native Flags” is amphibolic, as it not only terraforms the urban landscape, an action against climate change through the initiation of a natural tree canopy, it also spurs conversation throughout various communities for other actions to be taken. All 12 of Cortada’s “Native Flags” prints are in the collection of the University of Miami’s Miami Herbert Business School.

The “Starfish Shuffle” installation, a series of eight wall-mounted ceramic murals and a 40-foot digital tapestry, creates an awareness of the vibrant marine life that abounds in the natural environment just offshore from Broward County’s blue wave beaches.
