Panel: Urban Reflections
Co-presented by Mongrel Media
Photographer Edward Burtynsky, filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal and and Chinese artist, filmmaker and cultural critic Ou Ning will participate in a panel and presentation examining urban developments in China as the country is irreversibly transformed by economic and industrial growth.
All three artists have documented the transformations: Burtynsky with his majestic and haunting photographs of contemporary development in China; Baichwal as she followed the photographer in her award winning film Manufactured Landscapes; and Ou Ning in his documentation of poverty and change of his own country through such works as Borders, Illegal Zones, and Urban Villages, a montage of three genres of space that proliferate in contemporary Shenzhen as a result of its unique history as China's most productive special economic zones.
Panelists: Edward Burtynsky (photographer), Jennifer Baichwal (filmmaker), Ou Ning (filmmaker and cultural critic)."
