Ben Tolman is an architect. He fashions his world like a blueprint, imagining where innovative structures can coexist in harmony sustained by the simplicity of an imagined citizenry. In years past, Tolman’s works were more directly figurative, populated by buildings floating in an ethereal space. For Unmode, his new solo show with Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles, he turns both surreal and scientific, gauging the scaffolding of life and, perhaps more importantly, the building blocks of his own life.
