With Edward Burtynsky's imagery of industrialization as context, join photographers Rhiannon Adam and Brooke Holm as they dive into their expansive practices around the photographic landscape - from the frontiers of space and the depths of the oceans.

Arrive early to see our current exhibitions, Edward Burtynsky: The Great Acceleration and Sheida Soleimani: Panjereh. , on view through September 28.
About the Speakers
Rhiannon Adam was born in Cork, Ireland and currently lives and works between London and NYC. She was educated at Central Saint Martins and Cambridge University. Adam's long-term projects feature complex narratives relating to social injustice, outsider communities, and abuse of power. Within that, she is drawn to stories relating to the power of myth, and the close proximity between utopia and dystopia, fact and fiction. She is the author of three books, including Big Fence / Pitcairn Island.
Brooke Holm (b. 1987) is an Australian-American interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Holm’s artistic practice observes the celestial and anatomical body of the Earth through photography, moving image, sound and installation projects. Using sensory experiences of scale, time and perspective, Holm examines humanity’s opposing practices of reverence and exploitation of bodies. By shifting perception and altering our conventional viewpoint, the intwined connection between human and non-human life emerges as our anthropocentric myths fall away. Holm has exhibited her work internationally in solo and group shows, most recently at Fotografiska, The Contemporary Museum of Photography, Art & Culture in Stockholm. Brooke has attended artist residencies at Mass MoCA, The Arctic Circle, MaréMotrice and the Rogers Art Foundation.
