BiographyBRANDON BALLENGÉE Contact the artist: obsoletestudios@hotmail.com
Exploring the boundaries between art, science and technology, Brandon Ballengée creates multidisciplinary works out of information generated from ecological field trips and laboratory research. Since 1996, Ballengée has collaborated with numerous scientists to conduct primary biological research and advanced imaging procedures. These activities were outlined in "Ecoventions", a book published in 2002 by the Contemporary Arts Center of Cincinnati. He has collected specimens for several scientific organizations, including the Peabody Museum at Yale University, The American Museum of Natural History, and the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at U.C. Berkeley and others. In 2001, He was nominated for membership into Sigma XI, the Scientific Research Society. His works have been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Beijing, Vienna, London, Seoul, and other cities. These projects have appeared on ABC's World News Tonight, BBC's Today Show and in Art Press, GENEWATCH, MIT's LEONARDO Journal, The Journal of Experimental Zoology, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Sculpture Magazine, The Sciences and others. His theoretical article, "The Origins and Application of Artificial Selection" is included in the new anthology "Biomediale" published by the National Center for Contemporary Art in Kaliningrad, Russia. In January of 2002 and 2006, he co-taught an ecology art and neotropical evolution course in Costa Rica for Hartwick College. In addition, he regularly conducts ecology/ field biology/ genetics and digital imaging workshops open to the general public at urban parks, zoos, petstores and fish markets. Ballengée has also attended several artist in residency programs. In 2003 he was an artist in residence at the Natural History Museum in London. He participated in the 2004 Geumgang Nature Art Biennale in Gung Ju, South Korea. In 2005, he participated in the Waterways Project which was installed at the Venice Biennale. Recent solo exhibitions of his work were held at Wave Hill (New York City), The Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning (NYC), Archibald Arts (NYC), and the Yager Museum (Oneonta, NY) and Kunstverein Ingolstadt in Ingolstadt, Germany. He serves on the board of directors for the Peoples Museum of New York and NurtureArt Non-Profit, Inc.
