[Brandon Ballengée](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/brandon-balleng%C3%A9e) Art (and Science) Talk with artist-biologist Brandon Ballengée National Endowment for the Arts Apr 05, 2015 "It is tricky to measure the number of species going extinct each year on our planet—it all depends on how many species of flora and fauna exist, a difficult number to pin down. What most scientists can agree on, however, is that the extinction rate is 1,000 to 10,000 times higher than it would be if people weren't around. While those changes don't appear to impact our everyday lives—the extinction of a little-known tree frog doesn't change how long we wait in line for our morning coffee—the accelerated rate of extinction does hint at the ways in which climate change and other global phenomena will eventually have a significant impact on the way humans live, in terms of habitable landscapes, food supply, water resources, and other crucial areas. It is this looming, possibly catastrophic change that Brandon Ballengée—an artist, biologist and environmental activist—takes as the subject matter for his art." **[Read more here.](https://www.arts.gov/art-works/2015/art-and-science-talk-artist-biologist-brandon-balleng%C3%A9e)** Related News & Press Sep 19, 2017 [ ![Ballengee Collapse 2012 Mixed Media Installation Detail 3](/assets/exhibition_images/Balleng%C3%A9e/2012/Ballengee-Collapse-2012-mixed-media-installation-DETAIL-3.JPG) ](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2017/2017-ballengee-whit-online) Sep 19, 2017 The Whit [Brandon Ballengée](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/brandon-balleng%C3%A9e) [Art and biology intersect in “Sea of Vulnerability"](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2017/2017-ballengee-whit-online) Sep 13, 2017 [ ![Balelengee Rip Audubons Bighorn Sheep After John James Audubon 2016 Red](/assets/exhibition_images/Balelengee-RIP-Audubons-Bighorn-Sheep-After-John-James-Audubon-2016_Red.jpg) ](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2017/brandon-balleng%C3%A9es-sea-of-vulnerability-opens-at-the-rowan-university-art-gallery) Sep 13, 2017 [Brandon Ballengée](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/brandon-balleng%C3%A9e) [Brandon Ballengée at the Rowan University Art Gallery](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2017/brandon-balleng%C3%A9es-sea-of-vulnerability-opens-at-the-rowan-university-art-gallery) Mar 05, 2015 [ ![Ballengee The Frameworks Of Absence Installation View 2015 07](/assets/exhibition_images/Ballengee-The-Frameworks-of-Absence-Installation-View-2015_07.JPG) ](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2017/2016-ballengee-hyperallergic) Mar 05, 2015 Hyperallergic [Brandon Ballengée](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/brandon-balleng%C3%A9e) [Traces of Extinct Animals at the Armory Show](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2017/2016-ballengee-hyperallergic) Mar 29, 2014 [ ![Ballengee Dfa117 Galatee 2001 7](/assets/exhibition_images/Balleng%C3%A9e/2012/Ballengee-DFA117-Galatee-2001-7.JPG) ](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2017/2014-ballengee-huffington-post) Mar 29, 2014 Huffington Post [Brandon Ballengée](https://feldmangallery.com/artist-home/brandon-balleng%C3%A9e) [These Photos Will Make You Think Twice About Animal Deformities](https://feldmangallery.com/news/2017/2014-ballengee-huffington-post) [See All Press ](https://feldmangallery.com/news_overview) Ronald Feldman Gallery has been at the frontier of contemporary art since 1971.
