Manufactured Landscapes - The Photographs of Edward Burtynsky is at the Brooklyn Museum.
A rare negative review in the NYT: A Magnifying Glass on the Industrial Wasteland
From the website: The difference between the works of those artists and Mr. Burtynsky's is that they mostly avoided conventionally picturesque approaches to their subject matter. Mr. Burtynsky's photographic vision is closer to that of National Geographic magazine. Though technically impressive and, because of its scale, important-seeming, it offers nothing about photography or about the world that we have not already seen in the works of countless other proficient, globe-trotting photojournalists whose names have faded into the oblivion of artistic mediocrity.
