The paper is structured into three chapters with the first section providing the background and the theoretical and cultural influences that have contributed to and inspired my work. Here I examine my research involving the socio-political concerns of landscape, nature and experience and the critical dialogue on art and photography. In the second chapter I survey some of my previous work and address issues relating to representation and reproduction. The final chapter and conclusion discuss the thesis exhibition and how the artworks refer to each other in regards to the real, the reproduction and illusion. The installation is comprised of three related and complementary bodies of work that incorporate photographs, mixed-media images, found objects, artefacts, documents and books. IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Clyde McConnell whose support and guidance throughout my program was greatly appreciated.

My work explores and tries to reveal the affinities and common processes that various disciplines may share in theory, research methodology and documentation, specifically the working methods of artists, scientists, explorers and mountaineers. Through research into their histories I seek relationships to my own experiences as an artist and a mountaineer. The historical idealized and romantic views of nature may no longer be possible, but there is still a need to find a balance in our co-existence with nature and a sustainable relationship with it. When the environment is perceived in an objectified manner as a resource intended for mankind's use what are the implications? Can a search for meaning, truth and beauty through the artist collaborative process of discovery, response and creation aid in our appreciation of the conservation of our selves? My research also involves critical investigations of the contemporary, conceptual and formal aspects inherent in photography. My work explores ideas of representation through time, memory, myth and reality. Some of the questions that guide this aspect of my research are: What is photography's responsibility now, compared to the role of photography in the past, in regards to its role and effect in portraying reality or a moment 2 of truth? With the advent of new digital media and powerful technologies has the responsibility and interpretation of photography shifted to new ways of constructing and understanding reality? The Canadian Arctic and the Rocky Mountains can be considered as frontiers not only in how they operate as colonial property or as something to be conquered, but also in the realm of myth and identity. Wilderness can be experienced as a vast and remote milieu and/or as an "idea" that can function as a spiritual source in our imaginations. In my art practice I investigate the connections to the landscape and nature on a collaborative and experiential level, engaging the ideas and meanings of beauty and The Sublime. My work involves mapping, borders, ownership and possession; these investigations facilitate my long-standing concerns with the conservation of the environmental, political and geographic borders and the legal aspects of resource use. Within these fields I use a visual language based on narrative; grids and series are utilized indicating the ideas of place, personal identity, memory and relationships. I pursue and respond to these ideas structured within dualities including; life/death, human/nature, wilderness/development, exhaustion/renewal and beauty/The Sublime. My mountaineering background has influenced and directed my aims as an artist in dealing with nature, the landscape and the environment. Previous bodies of work have dealt with the ideas of the containment, packaging and consuming of nature. For this research rather than implementing an indirect "looking out at" or ironic

  • Edward Burtynsky the Human Signature
    PRESS RELEASE EDWARD BURTYNSKY 21 Cork Street London W1S 3LZ THE HUMAN SIGNATURE T: 020 7439 7766 [email protected] 17 October - 24 November 2018 www.flowersgallery.com Private View Tuesday 16 October, 6-8PM Flowers Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Edward Burtynsky. These works, created in collaboration with Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier, stem from the artist’s Anthropocene Project, a multidisciplinary investigation into human impact on the planet. The Anthropocene Project debuts this fall with simultaneous museum exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Ontario and the National Gallery of Canada, a feature- length documentary film, and a book. The works on view demonstrate what Burtynsky calls the “indelible human signature” on the planet, caused by incursions into the landscape on an industrial scale. Chronicling the major themes of terraforming and extraction, urbanisation Lithium Mines #1, Salt Flats, Atacama Desert, Chile 2017 and deforestation, Burtynsky conveys the unsettling reality of sweeping resource depletion and extinction. In these photographs, taken from both aerial and subterranean perspectives, and presented at a large scale, the patterns and scars of human-altered landscapes appear to form an abstracted painterly language. From the graduating tonal grids of turquoise and green-gold formed by the expansive lithium extraction ponds on the salt flats of the Atacama desert, to psychedelic fossil-like whorls formed by anthroturbation (human tunnelling) within the potash mines in Russia’s Ural Mountains, they reference the sublime and often surreal qualities of human mark-making. Carrara Marble Quarries #2, shown in the exhibition as a large-scale wall mural, is taken from a frontal perspective of one of the most renowned marble quarries in Carrara, Italy.

  • Biography of Edward Burtynsky
    Biography of Edward Burtynsky Edward Burtynsky is known as one of Canada’s most respected photographers. His remarkable photographic depictions of global industrial landscapes are included in the collections of over sixty major museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California. Burtynsky was born in 1955 of Ukrainian heritage in St. Catharines, Ontario. He received his BAA in Photography/ Media Studies from Ryerson University in 1982, and in 1985 founded Toronto Image Works, a darkroom rental facility, custom photo laboratory, digital imaging and new media computer-training centre catering to all levels of Toronto’s art community. Early exposure to the sites and images of the General Motors plant in his hometown helped to formulate the development of his photographic work. His imagery explores the collective impact we as a species are having on the surface of the planet; an inspection of the human systems we’ve imposed onto natural landscapes. Exhibitions include “Water” (2013) at the New Orleans Museum of Art & Contemporary Art Center, New Orleans, Louisiana; “Oil” (2009) at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.; “China”, “Manufactured Landscapes” at the National Gallery of Canada, and “Before the Flood” (2003). Burtynsky’s visually compelling works are currently being exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia. As an active lecturer on photographic art, Burtynsky’s speaking engagements have been held at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., George Eastman House in Rochester, NY, The Canadian Center for Architecture in Montreal, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the TED conference, Idea City, and Ryerson University in Toronto.

Glenbow provides us with a sense of place – what it means to live in this amazing landscape – and an appreciation for the legacy of the remarkable people and events that have shaped our community. We are proud to collect, showcase and involve Alberta’s wealth of artistic talent in our programming and to offer a glimpse into the artistic and cultural achievements of other parts of the world. Glenbow has always been a trusted place to explore ideas, to present new ways of thinking, and to open discussions on topical issues in our community. In the year ahead, we’ll be planning programs and exhibitions to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. Calgary has changed dramatically in the last 50 years – even the last five years – and Glenbow is repositioning itself to respond to a new generation of visitors. We look to artists and cultural creators to help us explore our world. Artists are fearless observers, and their works – funny, beautiful, poignant, challenging – open the door to new conversations.

  • The Cariboo and Monashee Ranges of British Columbia: an Alpinist’S Guide
    1 THE CARIBOO AND MONASHEE RANGES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: AN ALPINIST’S GUIDE by EARLE R. WHIPPLE Even today, British Columbia is still a wilderness of mountains, valleys, glaciers, forest and plateau. The Columbia Mountains (Interior Ranges; which include the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges) lie within British Columbia, west of the Canadian Rockies and the southern Alberta-British Columbia border. This guide describes the access and mountaineering in these two ranges. Aside from parts of the Coast Range and the northern Rockies, the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges are the most isolated in B.C. However, if one listens to the helicopters from the lodges in these ranges, when camped there, one may question this. Large, active glaciers (now in retreat) with spectacular icefalls exist in the mountains of the western part of the Halvorson Group, the northern Wells Gray Group, the Premier Ranges, the Dominion Group and northern Scrip Range; there is climbing on rock, snow and ice, and routes for those climbers wishing easy, relaxing climbing in beautiful scenery. Good rock climbing on gneiss is in the southern Gold Range and Mt. Begbie in the north. There are also locales offering fine hiking on trails or alpine meadows (Halvorson Group, southern Wells Gray Group, southern Scrip Range, and the Shuswap Group), and backpacking traverses have been worked out through the Halvorson and Dominion Groups, the Scrip Range and the Gold Range. Beautiful lake districts exist in the northern Cariboos, and the Monashees. The area covered by this book starts northwest of the town of McBride, on Highway 16, southeast of Prince George, and extends south to near the border with the U.S.A., staying within the great bend of the Fraser River, and then west of Canoe Reach (lake; formerly Canoe River) and just west of the lower Columbia River south of its great bend.
