Edward Burtynsky Talks Cover Art and Countrymen in Exclusive Video

Released September 22 2009

In celebration of Canadian Art's quarter-century in print, a series of video interviews was conducted with artists, curators and other key individuals about their experiences with the magazine and the national art scene it reflects. These engaging, revealing interviews are being posted daily during Gallery Hop week, September 21 to 25, 2009.

In today’s interview, iconic photo artist Edward Burtynsky—a 2009 Gallery Hop Gala Auction donor—talks about the ways that Canadian Art magazine connects him to the wide-ranging scope of the country's creative landscape. He also discusses his photograph Three Gorges Dam Project, Feng Jie #5, Yangtze River, China, which appeared on the cover of the spring 2003 edition.
