\"\"<\/a>Edward Burtynsky, Pivot Irrigation #14, High Plains, Texas Panhandle 2011, chromogenic print, 34 x 96 inches, ed. 12<\/p>\n

Saturday, March 2, 2013, 2 p.m.<\/strong>
\nNICOLAS METIVIER GALLERY<\/strong>
\n451 King Street West,<\/p>\n

Nicholas Metivier Gallery\u00a0will be hosting a talk with <\/span><\/span>Edward Burtynsky on the subject of scale.<\/p>\n

Working from an aerial perspective, Edward Burtynsky uses a \u201chuman scale\u201d that is dwarfed by the landscapes technology has created. In his new Pivot Irrigation series, Burtynsky creates compositions that resemble stained glass and textures that are evocative of wood or fabric. On close inspection, the viewer encounters miniature farms and pencil-thin pivot irrigation arms. It is only after this discovery that one can comprehend the mile and quarter mile radius of each crop circle.<\/p>\n

The talk is part of the exhibition titled Scale, a group exhibition featuring the works of Edward Burtynsky, Max Dean, William Fisk, Izima Kaoru, Mara Korkola, Robert Polidori, and Richard Tuttle. The exhibition will open on February 28 and will be on view through March 16, 2013\u00a0<\/strong>with an opening reception on Thursday, February 28 from 6\u2013 8 p.m.<\/p>\n

This exhibition brings together nationally and internationally acclaimed artists whose work reflects a particular consideration for scale. Whether it is the physical size of the work itself or a conceptual concern within it, scale is an integral part of the painting or photograph\u2019s success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
