  • RB Quotes

    'He exemplifies a generation that neither subscribes to the Modernist, formalist notion of redesigning, aesthicizing, beautifying, nor to the Postmodernist confrontation of injustices paved over and social needs abandoned. Aware of both, he maintains a flexible position. For artist such as Perschke, the possibilities for public art are open and multiple, unlimited as an engagement of sites and people-in-place.'

    Mary Jane Jacob 'Art Outside In, Inside Out', essay

    '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

    '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

    'He draws upon the already rich and full context of the city in which the ball is sited, not remolding it, but rather interacting and playing with it. In our experience of this work we find the spaces of the city and, in the tradition of Duchamp, we play a role.'

    Mary Jane Jacob 'Art Outside In, Inside Out', essay
