I stumbled across this the other day, it is a project that has been going on for several years now and I think it is awesome!

 

Kurt Perschke is an artist who lives and works in New York City, this project began as a commission by Arts in Transit and has since grown into something a lot bigger. It is basically a giant red ball that travels around the world and gets squeezed into random places. It is coming to the UK this summer so I am going to make sure I go and see this when it arrives in London. I wonder where it will be placed in London...

There are so many fantastic photos on flickr already, I can't wait to see it myself soon!
