'Every time a passerby says - 'You know, I know the perfect place to put it!' - RedBall has succeeded in creating a moment of imagination. This is the core of the Project's goal, not the object itself, but how in relation to a site and in the context of its temporary movements, the passerby can immediately take it on as an imaginative act.'
Kurt Perschke, Artist
'RedBall straddles the realms of formalist sculpture, street performance, ephemeral urban installation and hands-on art object, without ever deciding for any one terrain over the others - its presence in Barcelona was an unequivocal success.'
Jeffrey Swartz, Barcelona Curator
'One of the best things about RedBall Project is that it's really very funny. The absurdity of this balloon-at-large makes you smile. It also brings, like all good sculpture, a compulsion to reach out and touch.'
Matt Buchanan, The Sydney Magazine
'RedBall's occupation of the spaces that are taken for granted briefly foregrounds the invisible backdrop of urban life. What used to be neglected space becomes a realm of possibilities.'
Angela Melkisethian, Sculpture Magazine
'Perschke's uncanny ability to conceive a tight and tense fit for RedBall, the contrast between the bright red sphere and the white Meier facade, with its perky geometry and pretensions to modernist rationalism, gave RedBall a particular humor. I personally felt a sort of spoof was at hand.'
