Collapse: The Cry of Silent Forms [Brandon Ballengée](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/brandon-balleng%C3%A9e) May 4 – Jul 30, 2012 ![Ballengee Vertical Fall In The Winter 2010 12 1](/assets/hero_images/_1600x800_crop_top-center_75_none/3931/Ballengee-Vertical-Fall-in-the-Winter-2010-12_1.jpg) Brandon Ballengée Vertical Fall in the Winter, 2010-2012 Description Brandon Ballengée, a visual artist and biologist, will exhibit sculptural installations and photographs at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts in his first major solo exhibition in New York. The exhibition, Collapse: the Cry of Silent Forms, consists of three bodies of work that explore the effect of ecological degradation on marine life and avian and amphibian populations. Synthesizing scientific inquiry with art-making, Ballengée transforms his field research into metaphors that reveal the fragility of life forms in degraded ecosystems..
