Edward Burtynsky’s Quarries on exhibit in Toronto


At the NICHOLAS METIVIER GALLERY is Edward Burtyhsky’s Quarries. As he says:

“The concept of the landscape as architecture has become, for me, an act of imagination. I remember looking at buildings made of stone, and thinking, there has to be an interesting landscape somewhere out there because these stones had to have been taken out of the quarry one block at a time. I had never seen a dimensional quarry, but I envisioned an inverted cubed architecture on the side of a hill. I went in search of it, and when I had it on my ground glass I knew that I had arrived.”

It is on for a few more days: check it out if you can.
