BURTYNSKY: Extraction/Abstraction is curated by Marc Mayer, former director of the National Gallery of Canada and the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal. Featuring over 80 large format photographs, 10 high definition murals, one Augmented Reality experience and Edward Burtynsky’s ‘Process Archive’, which shows the instruments and cameras used over the years by the artist, the exhibition also includes the award-winning immersive multimedia projection of ‘In the Wake of Progress’.
Edward Burtynsky’s work focuses on what the artist describes as “large-scale industrial incursions across the planet,” inviting viewers to look at places that exist beyond our common experience, places that satisfy our desires and needs of the present but which, at the same time, determine the future of our habitat. aimed to show at London’s @saatchi_gallery, BURTYNSKY: Extraction/Abstraction is curated by Marc Mayer, former director of the National Gallery of Canada and the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal.
