Opening Reception for Edward Burtynsky: Oil - Canadian Premiere

Oil explores one of the most important subjects of our time by one of the most respected and recognized contemporary photographers in the world. Edward Burtynsky has travelled internationally to chronicle the production, distribution, and use of this critical fuel.

In addition to revealing the rarely-seen mechanics of its manufacture, Burtynsky photographs the effects of oil on our lives, depicting landscapes altered by its extraction from the earth and by the cities and suburban sprawl generated around its use. He also addresses the coming "end of oil," as we confront its rising cost and dwindling availability. Edward Burtynsky: Oil will be on view at The Rooms until August 15.

Edward Burtynsky: Oil is made possible with the generous support of Scotiabank Group. This exhibition is organized by the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
