Manufactured Landscapes photo documentary

Mark off either Feb 6 or 7^th on your calendar. An interesting look at China’s ever growing industrial base.

From Claude Coulombe of the local Chinese community.

Hello Everyone,

I would just like to bring to your attention the presentation of a documentary on China titled Manufactured Landscapes in which photographer Edward Burtynsky continues is artistic investigation of industrial incursions into Nature. What better place to do so than in the manufacturing juggernaut which is modern-day China. While he documents ecological devastation on the one hand, his skills as a photographer can find the beauty in industrial waste. The film looks at what China's industrial revolution means and the scale is, not surprisingly to North American consumers like us, staggering. Manufactured Landscapes is at the same time a truly unsettling yet riveting look at the effect of the western world's culture of consumption.

Regards,
Claude

Here’s a map of the campus. http://www.umoncton.ca/udem/pdf/cartedescampus/carteUMCM.pdf. If you take the second entrance along Morton Ave (not the main entrance at the lights) it’s the building directly across from the parking lot.
