The RedBall Project
Posted on September 9, 2008
Kurt Perschke is creating a one man revolution about awareness, art…and how adding a bit of absurdity into our daily “public” lives can free us up to think about what it means to PLAY (and why we may be holding back). Perschke’s 250 lb inflatable ball has made an impact on humans as far afield as Portland, OR and Sidney, Australia. Well…(drumroll)……The RedBall project has come come to Chicago. Check it out.
If you do search out the ball, play close attention to how others interact with it. They tell me that kids tend to “dive in” and bound into, touch, squeeze and laugh about the piece…whereas many adults seem to try to ignore it.
What does that say about our license to “play”?
