HK showcases Kurt Perschke's 'RedBall Project' in different locations
The "RedBall Project" initiated by the contemporary American artist Kurt Perschke has landed in Hong Kong starting today (Dec. 6). The "RedBall" is exhibited on the first day at Central Pier No. 10, placed in the middle of the railing along the pier, attracting many citizens to visit and take photos. From today until Dec. 15, the "RedBall" will tour 10 different locations in Hong Kong for 10 days, and the exhibition is open to the public for free.
A visitor from Beijing pointed out that most of the art installations in Hong Kong are very distinctive, whether it's past works like the "Giant Rubber Duck" and cartoon-themed pieces, or the current "RedBall," all are attractive and suitable for taking memorable photos. Still, he believes that there is room for improvement in Hong Kong's artistic development, suggesting that the government should increase promotion and promote a more diverse tourism experience.
This red ball, with a diameter of 4.5 meters and weighing 122 kilograms, has been traveling to over 40 countries including Paris, London, and Barcelona since 2001, visiting major cities around the globe, and integrating art into streets and alleys. Through the whimsical nature of the red ball, the project aims to open the door to people's imagination, sparking various creative ideas and interactions.
