The Reclamation Project was launched at the opening of an installation by the same name exhibited at the Bass Museum of Art from April 22nd, Earth Day, until May 17th, 2006. To see images of Xavier Cortada's installation, click here.

The Reclamation Project exhibit included an installation of 252 red mangrove seedlings (in clear, water-filled cups) lined up on a glass wall in the western portion of the museum and two continuous-loop videos: "18-mile" and "Reclamation." Miami artist Xavier Cortada's aim was to remind us of what our community was like before all the concrete was poured.
