IN NEW YORK: GALLERY OPENINGS THIS WEEKEND: VIDEO NIGHT AT HHK

Jun 17, 2010

 “Video Night” at Hasted Hunt Kraeutler, featuring Jennifer Baichwal’s Manufactured Landscapes, 537 West 24th Street, Thursday, June 17, 6–8 p.m. Film begins at 6:30 p.m.

Hasted Hunt Kraeutler is presenting Jennifer Baichwal’s documentary about the photographer Edward Burtynsky, whose detailed, oddly beautiful photographs of capitalism’s wastelands — one of his series is titled “Oil” — look increasingly terrifying, despite our President’s best efforts at convincing us that our world’s environment has better days ahead of it.
