Increasingly and forebodingly, contemporary artists are turning
their attention to the subject of climate change, in poignant and
often confrontational ways. "The Edge of the Earth: Climate Change
in Photography and Video" explores recent and historic work in the
context of present-day environmental concerns, considering the
future consequences of the age of the anthropocene, and humanity s
harsh imprint on our planet. "The Edge of the Earth" accompanies a
major exhibition at the Ryerson Image Centre in Toronto, and
includes works by pioneering and renowned artists such as Edward
Burtynsky, Naoya Hatakeyama, Richard Misrach and Robert
Rauschenberg; critical propositions on present situations by Chris
Jordan, Gideon Mendel and Brandi Merolla; plus visionary works by
Jean-Pierre Aube, Adrien Missika, Evariste Richer and Andreas
Rutkauskas. Photojournalism from the RIC s Black Star Collection is
also included, contextualising artistic reflections within half a
century of historical reportage on the environment.Produced as a
large-format book with high-quality reproductions throughout, "The
Edge of the Earth" includes critical texts by Benedicte Ramade and
TJ Demos, and an introduction by Paul Roth. This critical overview
offers the insight of artists into the present climate crisis, with
the motive of prompting reconsideration of our increasingly
perilous relationship to our planet. Published in partnership with
Ryerson Image Centre.
