The Frameworks of Absence

How do you visualize mass extinction? To create “The Frameworks of Absence,” his exhibition at NYC’s Armory Show, artist Brandon Ballengée cut extinct animals out of historic natural history prints. Ballengée says: 

"Responding to this cataclysm, I physically cut images of missing animals from historic prints and publications printed at the time in history when the depicted species became extinct. For example, in RIP Pied or Labrador Duck: After John James Audubon (1856/2007), the image of the birds was removed from an original 1856 Royal Octavo (hand-colored by one of Audubon’s sons) printed at the same point in history as the actual species disappeared. The resulting image minus the subject is what I refer to as a Framework of Absence". 

“The idea is when people are walking through the rest of the Armory show, they see this booth, and are transported into a museum, a museum of all of these animals that have disappeared in recent times.”

The project is now on view at The Armory Show in New York City through March 8.

¿Cómo visualizas la extinción masiva? Para crear "Los Marcos de la Ausencia" exposición en la ciudad de Nueva York en Armory Show, el artista Brandon Ballengée cortó animales extintos de grabados de historia natural. Ballengée dice:

"En respuesta a este cataclismo, corté físicamente imágenes de animales de grabados y publicaciones históricas impresas en el momento histórico en el que las especies representadas se extinguieron, por ejemplo, en RIP Pied o Pato Labrador:. Después de John James Audubon (1856/2007) , la imagen de las aves fue retirado de un original 1856 de Royal Octavo (coloreada a mano por uno de los hijos de Audubon) impresa en el mismo punto en la historia como la especie reales desaparecieron. La imagen resultante menos el sujeto es lo que me refiero como un "Marco de Ausencia ".

"La idea es que la gente esté caminando por el Armory Show, y que al ver esta exposición, sean transportados al museo, un museo donde todos estos animales han desaparecido en los últimos tiempos."

El proyecto está ahora en exhibición en The Armory Show en Nueva York hasta el 8 de marzo.
