    '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

    '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

    'The temporary has the potential to afford public participation in its making of during its life. So, RedBall lives in all its conceived or carried-out musings on lace, in all the impossible places it occupied but could not remain. Whereas for the Kapoor (sculpture in Millennium Park) great lengths were taken at great expense to achieve the near impossible, RedBall breathes because of its temporality. RedBall invokes impermanence in its constant mutability and migration.'

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

    '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.'

    Jeffrey Swartz, Barcelona Curator

    '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
