With his unique blend of ecological research, public participations, environmental activism and education, Brandon Ballengee presents a genuine fusion of art and science. Since 1996 he has been immersed in the study of global amphibian deformities, the results of which have made an important contribution to scientific knowledge around the subject as well as producing numerous artworks and public projects. Ballengee's practice embodies an emerging transdisciplinary perspective at the beginning of the 21st century.
This book represents the first survey of Ballengee's artistic, scientific, and ecological investigations into amphibians around the world. It is published to mark the results of his research in the UK between 2006 and 2008 and concludes with recent findings from further international studies
Richy illustrated with photographs and drawings, this book explores the significance of Ballengée's work across contemporary art, science, and ecology studies. It features commissioned essays from the well-known art critic, author, activist, and curator Lucy R. Lippard, Yorkshire Sculpture Park's Curator, Clare Lilley, Kerry Kriger, founder and director of the US charity Save the Frogs! and Ballengee's long-term scientific collaborator, Stanley K. Sessions
