RedBall Project Torontoby Kurt Perschke - Canadian Premiere
Having made headlines in cities from Barcelona to Chicago, something big and red comes bouncing into Toronto on its global trek. Experience your city through the imagination and vitality of RedBall.
Easing into entranceways, basking beneath bridges or wedged into alleyways, RedBall searches for new opportunities as the city itself becomes a canvas of possibilities.
Perschke's project investigates Toronto's specific urban landscape and history. With vision, curiosity and wit, RedBall reveals places we never noticed before and re-imagines familiar landmarks. RedBall represents an immediate creative impulse embedded in all of us - the simple act of seeing afresh.
So go seek it out as it touches down in a different Toronto location every day. It won't be hard to find!
"RedBall straddles the realms of formalist sculpture, street performance, ephemeral urban installation and hands-on art object... its presence in Barcelona was an unequivocal success." - Jeffrey Swartz, Barcelona Curator
