Public art installation RedBall is bouncing to Hong Kong this December

The RedBall Project is making its way to Hong Kong as a culturally renowned public artwork. Members of the public are invited to visit the RedBall from 6th–15th December, from 11 a.m.–6 p.m. as it bounces across Hong Kong. American artist Kurt Perschke is using art to introduce newfound wonder into 10 culturally significant locations across Hong Kong.

Spanning over 47 countries, RedBall will finally be landing in Hong Kong. Appearing in major cities like Paris and Tainan, the project has made a splash in each city. In Hong Kong, the installation is set to be a city-wide celebration with local artist crossovers, brand collaborations, and event activities.

They invite the public to spark imagination and creativity across the city. Viewers are encouraged to rethink the cultural and historical interventions. Stay tuned for more details on which locations the RedBall will appear at.

“RedBall’s invitation to engage, to collectively imagine, is the true essence of the project. Hong Kong will create its own story,” says artist Kurt Perschke.

Perschke created RedBall in 2001, making it the longest-running temporary public art installation in the world. His work is leading a new generation of artists to think about the potential of cities and audiences in public spaces. This opens up new exciting possibilities for combining already existing cultural and historical sites with new, modern art.

RedBall Hong Kong part of a city-wide celebration

The RedBall project is part of the BODW in the city by the Hong Kong Design Centre. The initiative aims to transform places into dynamic, interactive spaces. BODW in the city shows how artful designs breathe creativity into everyday life. Running from 2nd–16th of December, this event showcases Hong Kong as a “City of Design”. It is dedicated to contributing to the local economy, attracting tourists and locals alike.
