[Rare Earth Sculptures] Terbium (archival poster X)
2015
[Rare Earth Sculptures] Terbium (archival poster X, 2015) forms part of the Rare Earth cycle of ENERGY⋮PANGEA. This poster reveals multiple facets of the Terbium sculptural system: geometric star-like structures, intricate technical diagrams of its mechanical framework, and the talismanic red elements at its core. Terbium operates as both luminescent catalyst in technology and a force of elusive energies, weaving together primal materials, vibrational resonance, shamanic talismans, and psytrance frequencies into a distributed sculptural network where matter and consciousness continuously entangle.

Artists in conversation
Luc Tuymans
Belgian · b. 1958
Tuymans paints solitary figures and interior scenes with muted, desaturated palettes that generate quiet psychological unease, closely mirroring Ball's intimate figurative approach and unsettling domestic tension.
Vilhelm Hammershøi
Danish · b. 1864
Hammershøi's hushed interior scenes featuring solitary figures, restrained earthy tones, and a melancholic stillness directly parallel Ball's themes of solitude, domesticity, and Northern European realist sensibility.
Peter Doig
British · b. 1959
Doig shares Ball's richly layered paint surfaces, warm yet psychologically charged atmosphere, and contemporary figurative approach rooted in Northern European painterly traditions while maintaining an expressive personal mark.
