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. -

Anthropocene:The Human Epoch
ANTHROPOCENE:THE HUMAN EPOCH A film by Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier, and Edward Burtynsky Narrated by Alicia Vikander Canada / 2018 / 87 mins / Color / English, Russian, Italian, German, Mandarin, and Cantonese with English subtitles **Official Selection | Toronto International Film Festival** **Official Selection | Sundance Film Festival** **Official Selection | Berlin International Film Festival** Distributor Contact: Chris Wells, [email protected] Publicity Contact: Kara Croke, [email protected] Lauren Schwartz, [email protected] David Ninh, [email protected] Kino Lorber, Inc., 333 West 39th St., Suite 503, New York, NY 10018, (212) 629-6880 Synopsis: A cinematic meditation on humanity’s massive reengineering of the planet, ANTHROPOCENE is a four years in the making feature documentary film from the multiple-award winning team of Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier, and Edward Burtynsky. Third in a trilogy that includes MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES (2006) and WATERMARK (2013), the film follows the research of an international body of scientists, the Anthropocene Working Group who, after nearly 10 years of research, are arguing that the evidence shows the Holocene Epoch gave way to the Anthropocene Epoch in the mid-twentieth century, as a result of profound and lasting human changes to the Earth. From concrete seawalls in China that now cover 60% of the mainland coast, to the biggest terrestrial machines ever built in Germany, to psychedelic potash mines in Russia’s Ural Mountains, to metal festivals in the closed city of Norilsk, to the devastated Great Barrier Reef in Australia and massive marble quarries in Carrara, the filmmakers have traversed the globe using high-end production values and state of the art camera techniques to document the evidence and experience of human planetary domination. -
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 Report to the Community 2014 – 15
One Museum. A Million Stories. Glenbow Report to the Community 2014 – 15 125,697 Total annual attendance between April 1, 2014 – March 31, 2015 4,108 Number of visitors who received complimentary admission through special access programs (Aboriginal Access Program, SunLife Arts & Culture Pass, Community Outreach Program, Cultural Access Program for new Canadian citizens) 7,394 Number of people assisted with research requests and access to Glenbow’s collections MAKING AN IMPACT As a key cultural cornerstone in Calgary for nearly 50 years, Glenbow has surprised and engaged generations of Albertans and visitors to the province with remarkable connections between art, culture and the world around us. 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.
