X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><strong>About the Artist</strong></p>\n<p>
 In 2013\, Cortada created five striking\, large-scale banners to honor the
  remarkable scientific achievements of CERN researchers who utilized five 
 distinct search strategies to discover the Higgs boson\, helping to prove 
 the Standard Model of Physics. Drawing parallels between CERN's Large Hadr
 on Collider and a modern-day cathedral that shapes our understanding of th
 e universe and our worldviews\, the banners are permanently displayed at t
 he precise location where the particle was discovered. Don't miss this edu
 cational display\, sponsored by the Xavier Cortada Foundation.</p>\n<p>Xav
 ier Cortada\, Miami&rsquo\;s pioneer eco-artist\, uses art&rsquo\;s elasti
 city to work across disciplines to engage communities in problem solving. 
 Particularly environmentally focused\, his work intends to generate awaren
 ess and action around climate change\, sea level rise\, and biodiversity l
 oss. Over the past three decades\, the Cuban-American artist has created a
 rt at the North and South poles and across 6 continents\, including more t
 han 150 public artworks\, installations\, collaborative murals and sociall
 y engaged projects.&nbsp\;Cortada\, who serves as the inaugural Artist-in-
 Residence for Miami-Dade County and University of Miami Professor of Pract
 ice\, has been commissioned to create art for&nbsp\;CERN\, the White House
 \, the World Bank\, the Frost Art Museum\, and Miami City Hall\, among man
 y other art\, science\, and government venues. Cortada received the Enviro
 nmental Law Institute&rsquo\;s 2021 National Wetlands Award\, was included
  in the 2022 GRIST 50\, and delivered a TED Talk on the intersection of ar
 t and climate.&nbsp\; Learn more at&nbsp\;www.cortada.com.</p>\nhttps://md
