Today, two Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 faculties announced a partnership with world-renowned Canadian photographer and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Honorary Degree recipient, , to help realize his new public art piece titled Standing Whale.

On the heels of his critically acclaimed and highly successful Anthropocene project, Burtynsky continues to push his artistic practice into a new dimension, with the creation of his first large-scale public sculptural work 카지노 게임 컬렉션� a true-to-size, artistic re-imagining of a whale skeleton, inspired by retrieved whale skeletons that washed ashore in Newfoundland in 2014. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�My hope is this public art sculpture will become a true Canadian statement: one that symbolizes our commitment to protecting the environment, our cultural institutions and heritage, as well as our efforts to ensure that our planet experiences a positive Anthropocene instead of a negative one,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Burtynsky.

The partnership will engage the expertise and innovative thinking of faculty and students in multiple programs across the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, and the Faculty of Arts and Science, who will tackle the piece카지노 게임 컬렉션�s structural and conceptual challenges with the aim of bringing this artwork to life in a public setting.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Edward Burtynsky creates compelling, passionate calls to action on climate change,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Kevin Deluzio, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Contributing to Standing Whale represents an opportunity for our faculty and students to take on unique engineering challenges that span the disciplines of engineering but also rely on collaboration with our colleagues from the arts and sciences.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Based on the story of a pod of North Atlantic blue whales that perished in an unprecedented ice event, Standing Whale is a thematic continuation of Burtynsky카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 40-year artistic practice looking at the impacts of humans on the planet. When the bodies of these whales washed ashore following their demise, there were only an estimated 250 of the mammals left worldwide. This pod represented four per cent of those remaining. The North Atlantic blue whale, like so many other species, is at risk of becoming a casualty of the climate crisis and Standing Whale acts as an homage to and lament for this loss.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Through the duration of this partnership with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 and the deployment of these multidisciplinary special projects, students will have an opportunity to engage with this artwork in a tangible way and work towards achieving feats of both engineering and storytelling alongside Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s most prolific contemporary photographer,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dean Barbara Crow, Faculty of Arts and Science.
