Presented across two full floors of the museum\u2019s galleries on Ludlow Street, the exhibition assembles over seventy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/photography\/\"><strong>photographs<\/strong><\/a> alongside three ultra high-resolution murals and a visual timeline tracing the artist\u2019s four-decade career.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Organized by ICP\u2019s Creative Director David Campany, the show marks Burtynsky\u2019s first institutional solo exhibition in New York in more than twenty years. It brings together a wide range of material, including both rarely seen portraits and globally recognized landscape images, some of which are being exhibited for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Edward Burtynsky, The Great Acceleration, ICP, installation view | image \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danielterna.com\/\">Daniel Terna<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">edward burtynsky explores human-altered landscapes<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The title Edward Burtynsky: The Great Acceleration refers to the intensified pace of global human activity since the mid-20th century, particularly as it relates to climate, resource extraction, and industrial production. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edwardburtynsky.com\/\"><strong>photographer<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s images track these dynamics with precision, capturing expansive mining pits in North America, oil infrastructure in Azerbaijan, and agricultural terraces in China, among others. His aerial compositions create a distance from which viewers can comprehend the full extent of altered terrain, while recurring themes such as fossil fuel dependency, industrial labor, and mass waste form a connective tissue across the works.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What emerges is a cumulative portrait of transformation, showing landscapes reshaped by ambition and exhaustion. The images on view across the ICP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icp.org\/\"><strong>gallery<\/strong><\/a> rarely depict a single event. Instead, they offer visual evidence of systemic forces and long-term change.<\/p>\n<p>Edward Burtynsky, The Great Acceleration, ICP, installation view | image \u00a9 Daniel Terna<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">photographic approach and scale<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Edward Burtynsky\u2019s large-format prints shown throughout The Great Acceleration reinforce the monumental scale of their subjects. Their clarity and formal construction invite sustained attention, while the sheer size of the images creates an immersive experience within the gallery. The exhibition includes several mural-scale works that stretch across entire walls, offering a panoramic confrontation with their content.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These works share a heightened sense of surface detail and spatial rhythm. Roads cut into mountainsides, shipping containers tessellate across ports, and irrigation systems radiate outward in carefully measured arcs. Rather than romanticize or condemn, his framing positions the viewer within the complexity of global infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although Burtynsky is widely known for his elevated and often remote vantage points, The Great Acceleration also features close-range photographs that focus on the people embedded in these industrial ecosystems. Portraits of workers in factories, mines, and shipbreaking yards provide an essential human counterpoint. They foreground the individuals who shape, and are shaped by, the economies reflected in the photographer\u2019s wider images.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Edward Burtynsky, Oil Fields #19a &amp; #19b, Belridge, California, USA 2003 | image \u00a9 Daniel Terna<\/p>\n<p>Edward Burtynsky, The Great Acceleration, ICP, installation view | image \u00a9 Daniel Terna<\/p>\n<p>Edward Burtynsky, The Great Acceleration, ICP, installation view | image \u00a9 Daniel Terna<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Edward Burtynsky, Breezewood, Pennsylvania, USA, 2008<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>Edward Burtynsky, Salt River Pima and Maricopa Indian Community \/ Suburb, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, 2011<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Edward Burtynsky, Highway #5, Los Angeles, California, USA, 2009<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>exhibition title:\u00a0<\/strong>The Great Acceleration<\/p>\n<p><strong>artist:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edwardburtynsky.com\/\">Edward Burtynsky<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/edwardburtynsky\/?hl=en\">@edwardburtynsky<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>gallery:\u00a0<\/strong>International Center of Photography (ICP) | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/icp\/\">@icp<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:\u00a0<\/strong>84 Ludlow Street, New York<\/p>\n<p><strong>on view:\u00a0<\/strong>June 19th \u2014 September 28th, 2025<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/art\/edward-burtynsky-industrial-new-york-exhibition-international-center-photography-07-09-2025\/\">edward burtynsky maps four decades of earth\u2019s industrial systems in new york exhibition<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018The Great Acceleration\u2019 shows at ICP \u00a0 Edward Burtynsky\u2019s retrospective The Great Acceleration is currently on view at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York.
