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.
