The 10,000 year clock

San Francisco’s Long Now Foundation is headed up by Stewart Brand,  who sent out this notice about tonight’s talk:

    "Ed Burtynsky's massively informative photographs change minds and influence policy. They are also exquisite art, and their historical value will grow with time.  Other art has similar reach.  There should be a gallery that collects, displays, and sifts such works over centuries and millennia, and develops ways to preserve them.  That is exactly Burtynsky's plan--- a 10,000-year Gallery to accompany Long Now's 10,000-year Clock.  His presentation will explore and demonstrate the idea.

    "The 10,000-year Gallery," Edward Burtynsky, Cowell Theater, Fort Mason, San Francisco, 7pm, WEDNESDAY, July 23.  The talk starts promptly at 7:30pm.  Admission is free (a $10 donation is always welcome, not required).

    Burtynsky's photographs are in the permanent collections of fifteen major museums around the world.  We will see some of them Wednesday."

Hope to see you there,
Suzanna
