Join us at TAG Gallery on Thursday, November 13 at 5 PM for a special TAG Talk with Los Angeles artist, designer, and architect Benjamin Ball, founder of Ball-Nogues Studio.

In his talk, The Drift of the Built, Ball will explore how material, light, and perception shape our experience of space. His studio’s immersive installations transform industrial materials into reflective, living environments that invite viewers to pause, notice, and reflect.

Benjamin Ball’s work has been exhibited at MoMA, the Guggenheim, LACMA, and the Venice Biennale, and is held in major museum collections worldwide. You may have already come across some of his striking public works across Los Angeles—see attached images of a few familiar projects.

Tickets:

• TAG Members — $10

• Non-Members — $15

Reserve your spot now and be part of an inspiring evening of art, architecture, and dialogue.

Benjamin Ball – Bio
Benjamin Ball is an American artist, designer, and architect whose work explores the relationships between material, space, and perception through large-scale, site-specific installations. As founder of his Los Angeles-based studio, Ball leads an interdisciplinary team that designs and fabricates immersive works for public spaces—spaces that invite reflection, interruption, and a heightened sense of presence.

Ball’s practice operates at the intersection of art, architecture, and industrial design, with an emphasis on the design of the production process itself. His projects begin by defining methods—rules, tools, and constraints—that shape what the work can become. Working with industrial materials like mirror-polished stainless-steel spheres, cable, and ball-chain, he creates luminous structures that shift with light and perspective. These installations are not static objects, but fields of experience: spaces that invite viewers to pause, notice, and reflect.

Ball’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Venice Biennale, and is held in the permanent collections of MoMA and LACMA. Notable projects include Weightless Monument in Charlotte, North Carolina, as well as commissions for civic spaces across the United States and abroad.

Ball lives and works in Los Angeles.
