joshua tree CALIFORNIA

Three days left to support Ball Nogues experimental project adjacent to California’s Joshua Tree National Park. Yucca Crater will stand 24 feet tall, towering above the desert plane. Positioned along the slopes of its interior shell, rock-climbing holds will make their way into and out of 8 feet of water. Heated with solar power and pumped through a wind powered turbine, the cavernous pool awaits climbers and weary desert travelers.

benjamin BALL: Commissioned by the City of Santa Monica, Cradle is situated on the exterior wall of an existing parking structure at Santa Monica Place – originally designed by Frank Gehry. The site is heavily trafficked by tourists on foot and in automobiles. An accumulation of mirror polished stainless steel spheres, the work operates structurally like an enormous Newton’s Cradle – the ubiquitous toy found on the desktops of corporate executives in Hollywood movies.

ball nogues studio: The installation in the courtyard at Schoenberg Hall serves as an integrated set piece and backdrop for performance and everyday social interaction. We understand the work as a tablecloth to adorn and activate the architecture of the campus. Tables are places where people interact socially. Dining tables, specifically, facilitate organization and communication within the typical American home.
