Giant Urban Balls

Kurt Perschke Redball Project Captivates Toronto During Luminato 2009

Luminato 2009 in Toronto offered a variety of innovative arts, but one that really made an impression was what looked like a giant exercise ball in the heart of downtown, the Kurt Perschke Redball project.

Big red ball sightings took place around the downtown core, from First Canadian Place on King st to City Hall. BCE place had several small red balls, also part of the Kurt Perschke Redball project.

Flickr is laden with photos of Luminato red ball sightings, some of which have been included in the gallery.
