Conversations. Masterworks from the McMichael Canadian Art Collection

McMichael Canadian Art Collection
Kleinberg, Ontario

The McMichael Canadian Art Collection holds more than 7000 works, ranging from Group of Seven masterpieces to humble items of furniture once in the possession of our founders, Robert and Signe McMichael; from famous artists’ materials and equipment to iconic archival photos and works on paper; from Franklin Carmichael’s well-used engraving tools to Frederick Varley’s woollen hat. A third of the collection is Indigenous, including historic cultural belongings and cutting-edge contemporary artworks. The McMichael’s mandate covers all the art of Canada, from coast to coast to coast, from early days to the present, and we aspire to reflect its full diversity.

This selection of works from our permanent collection aims to convey something of its current breadth, taking particular pleasure in placing apparently disparate works in creative conversation with one another. Featuring works by Kenojuak Ashevak, Rebecca Belmore, Edward Burtynsky, Franklin Carmichael, Emily Carr, Kim Dorland, Sorel Etrog, Paterson Ewen, Lawren Harris, Prudence Heward, Gershon Iskowitz, A.Y. Jackson, Cornelius Krieghoff, Jean Paul Lemieux, Arthur Lismer, An Te Liu, Zachari Logan, Helen McNicoll, David Ruben Piqtoukun, David Milne, Michael Snow, Tom Thomson and others.

Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University

Second Nature: Photography in the Age of the Anthropocene is the first major exhibition to examine the Anthropocene through the lens of contemporary photography. Comprised of forty-five photo-based artists working in a variety of artistic methods from studios and sites across the globe, Second Nature explores the complexities of this proposed new age. Collectively, these artists offer compelling visual imagery necessary for picturing the Anthropocene: aerial views of beautiful but toxic sites, collages that incorporate archival photographs to counter colonial narratives, depictions of urbanism on an unimaginable scale, and imagined yet precarious futures. In doing so, they address urgent issues such as vanishing ice, rising waters, and increasing resource extraction, as well as the deeply rooted and painful legacies of colonialism, forced climate migration, and socio-environmental trauma.

Design Museum Den Bosch

The exhibition Design for the Planet presents a design history of the phenomenon of geoengineering. This is the first time that the theme has been addressed in this way in a design museum. From colonial plans to green the Sahara, via the fear of hurricanes as a weapon of war in the Cold War, to current plans to extract CO 2 from the air or to cool the earth with enormous sunshades in space. Such projects often prove to be impracticable or entail enormous risks, while their effectiveness is far from certain. Who has the right to put such plans into practice? Who bears the possible consequences? And what do these debates say about the expectations we have of engineers, scientists and designers?

LOOKS LIKE ABSTRACTION explores the question of when a photograph is perceived as abstract. Was this the artist's intention from the outset? Isn't every photograph initially concrete, only to become something else, such as an abstract image, through the cropping of the picture? The tour of the exhibition answers some of these questions, but also leaves plenty of room for free flight of thought and emotion.

Making it Matters

M+ Museum
Hong Kong

Making it Matters is an exhibition exploring different approaches to the topic of making as a process of creative expression and the long-lasting impact this process has on our individual lives, global communities, and ecosystem. The experimental display will feature ideas that innovative makers have adopted to incorporate responsible design, material innovation, and creative reuse strategies into alternative modes of thinking and how these ideas are situated within wider historical, pragmatic, or sociopolitical contexts. The exhibition draws upon the diverse work of artists, designers, and architects currently in the M+ Collections—including John Cage, Raffaella della Olga, Anna Ridler, Julie & Jesse, Fujimori Terunobu, Vo Trong Nghia Architects, and Rural Urban Framework—to highlight the diverse stories that show us why the act of making continues to matter in society, now more than ever.

When humans overstep the mark, Burtynsky captures the full extent of the issue.

Over the course of five years, Canadian Edward Burtynsky (b. 1955) traveled across the globe, from the Gulf of Mexico to the shore of the Ganges, while weaving together an ambitious representation of water’s ever more fragmented lifecycle. In colorful aerial images, many bordering on the edge of complete abstraction, Burtynsky traces the various roles that water plays in modern life; as a source of healthy ecosystems and energy, as a key element in cultural and religious ritual, and as a rapidly depleting resource.

In the background, Edward Burtynsky’s astonishing images paint a fascinating self-portrait of the planet, illustrating the duality between beauty and the environmental crisis beneath the surface. Ten dancers, in tension and in conversation with these images, create a moment suspended in time in which humanity and nature are united. With this work, Peña asks us to slow down and create a sustainable future, leaving a glimmer of hope in the dancers’ wake.

The photo exhibition WATER explores the controversial relationship between humanity and water: a basic part of our body, an essential resource for our lives and that of our planet. Indispensable and of vital importance. That makes water the most precious liquid; the new gold.

Edward Burtynsky's abstract photographs, sometimes elegant, sometimes haunting, float between the worlds of painting and photography and form a compelling portrait of water that presents itself as an open question about humanity's relationship with nature.

Burtynsky’s interest in Africa was sparked 20 years ago while he was working on his landmark 2004 photographic project China, which explores the country’s rapid globalization and the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. The series, and subsequent award-winning documentary film by Jennifer Baichwal, Manufactured Landscapes (2006), chronicle China’s transformation into the world’s leading manufacturer and depository for its waste. Burtynsky witnessed firsthand the immense environmental and by extension, human cost of development, and he predicted Africa would be the next, and perhaps the last, region to undergo major industrial expansion.

He has since become world-renowned for his large-format photographs of the changing nature. They act as a testimony, an insight into the landscapes that have been influenced by man. The industrial landscapes – oil fields, mine pits, cramped highway links – are both a consequence of human activity and a necessity for sustaining our modern life.

Abstraction and the Altered Landscape

Fotografiska Shanghai
Jing’an District, Shanghai

Abstraction and the Altered Landscape, by artist Edward Burtynsky, will be one of the four opening exhibitions at Fotografiska Shanghai. During the 40-year evolution of Burtynsky’s artistic practice, abstraction has increasingly become a central mode of expression for him. While there may be photojournalistic overtones in these works, the deeper concern is a desire to create large, detailed, painterly images into which the viewer is drawn not only by their formal aesthetic appeal, but also by the underlying subject matter.

Sublime yet detailed, most of the photographs in this exhibition were taken from fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and drones, so there is a visual continuity in seeing the landscape from lofty perspectives, revealing the designs, structure and scale of the Earth’s surface. Technologies such as remote-controlled drones has allowed for more precision in selecting viewpoints, where Burtynsky often eliminates the horizon line of a landscape to enhance the sense of abstraction.

Shaping Landscapes: 150 Years of Photography in Utah

Modern & Contemporary Galleries
Utah Museum of Fine Arts
Salt Lake City, Utah

The history of photography in the United States is deeply tied to the American West. From 19th century survey expeditions to 21st century environmental movements, Western landscapes are activated as some of the most prominent subjects in American photographic history. This exhibition traces 150 years of Utah landscape photography from the UMFA's expansive collection. The artworks offer insight into how generations of photographers have used this technology to construct an image of Utah. They also confront humanity's impact on this land since the 1870s – the railroads, highways, mines, and other forms of infrastructure that puncture the "natural" landscape and shape our perception of this place.
