Artist Kurt Perschke's RedBall Project is a mobile sculptural performance that functions as a series of daily installations over a period of one month. The site-specific installations of the 15-foot inflatable sphere will be boldly present and smoothly transient, moving between chosen locations and engaging people on the Chicago streets and near landmark buildings. As public art that migrates, RedBall is unique in each city.

Perschke works onsite considering and curating RedBall within a city’s distinct urban landscape. The artist's decisions about embedding RedBall address not only architecture and urban space, but also anticipate the flow of people, traffic and the observer's eye.

What used to be neglected space becomes a realm of possibilities. Compressed in every site, RedBall changes its own shape, as well as the space it inhabits, directly reflecting our experience of metropolitan density.

Now Chicago has balls.

And beans. And bears. And bulls.
