Open to ticket holders of Edward Burtynsky: Extraction / Abstraction only
Open age is a charity that champions an active life for older people. They work across Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and Hammersmith and Fulham to enable anyone aged 50 or older to sustain their physical and mental fitness, maintain an active lifestyle and develop new and stimulating interests. With this exhibition, Open Age continues its partnership with Saatchi Gallery and invited their participants to respond to the brief is Changing Landscapes which responds to our current major exhibition BURTYNSKY: EXTRACTION / ABSTRACTION.
Edward Burtynsky says: “I have spent over 40 years bearing witness to the ways in which modern civilization has dramatically transformed our planet.”
We asked Open Age participants to contemplate changes in the environment around them over the years.
Saatchi Gallery Learning team ran a series of workshops on the above themed to Open Age groups across the three boroughs to inspire submissions.
