Led by Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues, the studio works collaboratively to create large-scale installations by using custom-designed software and digitally controlled mechanical tools in conjunction with traditional hand craft assembly techniques. They explore process-based projects, allowing the logic inherent in the physical properties of materials to guide their working methods. <p><a href="http://artbabble.org/video/ima/benjamin-ball-gaston-nogues-ball-nogues-studio" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://artbabble.org/video/ima/benjamin-ball-gaston-nogues-ball-nogues-studio#comments Architecture Artist Talk Ball-Nogues Ball-Nogues Studio Lecture Sculpture Talk Contemporary Art Indianapolis Museum of Art http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/d7/d7721ed8d218e324/poster-image-06.jpg d7721ed8d218e324 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 14:22:54 +0000 dbeyer 7770 at http://artbabble.org http://artbabble.org/video/ima/gravitys-loom-ball-nogues-studio <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-institution"> <div class="field-label">Institution:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/partner/indianapolis-museum-art">Indianapolis Museum of Art</a> </div> </div> </div> Los Angeles-based design team Ball-Nogues Studio filled the IMA's Efroymson Family Entrance Pavilion with multicolored strings hung in catenary curves, arcs naturally assumed by the strings as they respond to the force of gravity. Trained as architects, Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues worked with the pavilion's architecture to develop an installation related to the function of the space as meeting point for visitors. http://artbabble.org/video/ima/gravitys-loom-ball-nogues-studio#comments Ball-Nogues catenary ikat installation Sculpture string Textiles Indianapolis Museum of Art http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/a9/a920a356624d7dc1/poster-image-01.jpg a920a356624d7dc1 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 18:26:06 +0000 dbeyer 7619 at http://artbabble.org
