In an interdisciplinary exploration of the politics, economics, and social ramifications of human intervention in the natural world supported by the College's Joseph McKeen Center for the Common Good, a focused exhibition of images of industrialized China by acclaimed landscape photographer Edward Burtynsky will be shown at the º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ Museum of Art.

The exhibition will feature a selection of Burtynsky’s characteristic large-scale images of China’s industrialized culture, sweeping across vistas as varied as dumping grounds, shipyards, factories, and mines. Burtynsky’s photographs of the Chinese landscape, teeming and full of fractured beauty, harrowingly indicate the environmental consequence that is the result of expansion and mass production.
