Ed Burtynsky brings the big picture to Brooklyn

BurtynskyTED Prize winner Ed Burtynsky is known for his extraordinary large-format photographs, documenting the impact of humans on Earth. His epic slideshow at TED2005 took us through unorthodox landscapes — mountains of tires, rivers of industrial waste — as eerily beautiful as they are disturbing. You can revisit them (at your own pace) at the Brooklyn Museum through January 15th. Or in his book, Manufactured Landscapes, any time you like.

    For those in SF, Burtynsky's "New works from The China Series" is on view at the Robert Koch Gallery (49 Geary St). I came upon it by surprise, and delight, when trying to get a sneak peak at Andy Goldsworthy's new show at the Haines Gallery, which opens today (10/14).



    Two great viewings right next to each other!
