From Toronto to NYC—here's a behind the scenes look at installing "Edward Burtynsky: The Great Acceleration" in ICP's galleries. ⁠

For artworks of this scale, it takes all hands on deck to transport, curate, and install photographs—including the ⁠"Pivot Irrigation #8" mural, Burtynsky's largest to date, measuring a massive 28x28 feet.⁠

"The Great Acceleration" is an established term used to describe the rapid rise of human impact on our planet according to a range of measures, which Burtynsky has photographed the outward signs of at length and in great detail over the past forty years. ⁠

"Edward Burtynsky: The Great Acceleration" is on view through September 28, 2025—witness the scale of our impact at ICP, 84 Ludlow Street, New York, NY. Reserve your tickets today at icp.org/exhibitions
