Museum Of Contemporary Photography Free Admission Thursday

Free Admission Thursday from 10am to 8pm at Museum of Contemporary Photography - see INFO below. For more than twenty-five years, Edward Burtynsky has photographed humankind's imprint in the landscape, tracking the expansive ripples of industrial activity in various parts of the world. His large images depict rock quarries and strip mines, oil fields and refineries, factories and recycling yardsplaces that lie beyond our normal experience yet which provide the materials for our daily lives. In addition to locations where resources are extracted or processed, Burtynsky has also focused on landscapes that provide insight into cycles of production and consumption in more unexpected ways. In the Shipbreaking series (2000-2001), for example, Burtynsky photographed obsolete oil-tankers grounded on the beaches of Bangladesh, where they were being dismanteled to salvage scrap metal.
