The Ball-Nogues Studio is an award winning archetectural firm, and one of 16 artists/groups presenting work at Long Beach Exposed, which opens at the Expo Building in Bixby Knolls this Friday evening at 7 PM.

Their work has been seen by thousands, at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and as far afield as Italy and Austria. Their work is rooted in the physical, but previsualization takes place virtually and, with the invention of new hardware, they’ve extended the boundaries of what’s possible.

Gaston Nogues took some time away from the installation process to talk about the work, the studio, and how the processes they use evolved.

Listen to the podcast:

Here are a few images of the installed work:

The Expo Building is located at 4321 Atlantic Avenue, and the opening reception is taking place tomorrow, Friday, October 9th, from 7 – 10 PM.
