We need your help with a project about the post-oil spill ecology of the gulf to be shown at a major NYC gallery this spring.
Feldman gallery has offered a solo exhibition opening 5 May (http://www.feldmangallery.com/pages/home_frame.html) A big part of the show will focus on the health of the Gulf —with a large- scale installation portraying the fragile Gulf trophic pyramid and video work about "green-washing" versus ecological/ social reality. This should be an excellent opportunity to raise awareness in New York about what the media is no longer talking about. To do this I need facts and images from sources I can reference about current Gulf ecology such as: • Information/ data from scientific peer-reviewed sources • Statistics/ estimated numbers of organisms lost • Information about the safety of eating Gulf seafood • Estimated current and long-term impacts to Gulf wildlife • Estimated economic and social impacts on local (human) communities • Photographs of injured wildlife, damaged ecosystems (past and new) • More, Etc.! We need these fast, as all materials need to be in to the video editor in about 3-4 weeks! So please help if you can and forward to anyone you think could/ would contribute Also, we are going to set up a info table for viewers to look through materials or have them available in binders---- if you have anything you would like to send please do asap to: Brandon Ballengée Studio PO Box 51 New York, NY 10156 or please email me @ [email protected] THANK YOU and looking forward to your response! Brandon Ballengée, biologist and artist
