    Edward Burtinsky: Manufactured Landscape
















































































    Nature transformed through industry is a predominant theme in my work. I set course to intersect with a contemporary view of the great ages of man; from stone, to minerals, oil, transportation, silicon, and so on. To make these ideas visible I search for subjects that are rich in detail and scale yet open in their meaning. Recycling yards, mine tailings, quarries and refineries are all places that are outside of our normal experience, yet we partake of their output on a daily basis.

    These images are meant as metaphors to the dilemma of our modern existence; they search for a dialogue between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear. We are drawn by desire - a chance at good living, yet we are consciously or unconsciously aware that the world is suffering for our success. Our dependence on nature to provide the materials for our consumption and our concern for the health of our planet sets us into an uneasy contradiction. For me, these images function as reflecting pools of our times. -Edward Burtinsky

    Space: The Final Frontier: Re-post


    Earlier this week Obama signed the NASA 2010 Authorization Act into law, which guarantees NASA a decent chunk of change, although the specifics of how it’s going to be spent are still up in the air. However, we do know that the moon is passé and now the focus is firmly on Mars. I suppose Richard Branson is now taking over the moon route anyway and before we know it Easyjet and Ryanair will be undercutting him. All of this talk of space travel brought to mind Vincent Fournier’s great series Space Project on our long-lasting fascination with space. -Eyecurious Re-Post
