Weinstein Hammons
Minneapolis, MN

Opening Reception: October 28, 6-8 PM

Weinstein Hammons Gallery is pleased to present African Studies, an exhibition of fourteen large format photographs by the internationally renowned artist Edward Burtynsky. This will be Burtynsky's third solo exhibition with the gallery and is the debut of African Studies in the United States.

On the occasion of the openings of Edward Burtynsky’s new series African Studies at Nicholas Metivier Gallery (Oct. 6, Toronto), Flowers Gallery (Oct. 14, London), Weinstein Hammons Gallery (Oct. 28, Minneapolis) and additional shows coming in 2023, Burtynsky and his gallerists are committing 100% of the earnings from the first 39” x 52” print sold at each show — equalling CAD $100,000.00 — to LagosPhoto. The hope is that these funds will go towards the establishment of a new program within the Festival dedicated to emerging and mid-career African artists who are focussing their lens on subjects of globalism, and the environmental, cultural and social impacts of the climate crisis on the Global South.
