This unique exhibition follows Canadian artist Edward Burtynsky’s decade long photographic exploration of the subject of oil. From 1997 to the present, Burtynsky has travelled the world to chronicle the production, distribution and consumption of this critical fuel. EDWARD BURTYNSKY: OIL represents the “life cycle” of the energy source that has shaped the modern world. In addition to exposing the rarely-seen manufacturing process, Burtynsky’s photographs highlight the impact that oil has on our daily lives. Burtynsky also asks us to imagine a world without oil, as we confront its rising cost and dwindling supply.
 
Rooted in the history of landscape painting, the 56 works in this exhibition present a new, modern landscape, altered by manufacturing, industry and human intervention. Produced in large scale, Burtynsky’s images are panoramic in scope and transfixing in their clarity of detail. The exhibition, EDWARD BURTYNSKY: OIL promises to be the definitive visual document of the most important subjects of our time, created by one of the most respected and recognized photographers in the world.
