From the serious to the unserious

Right on the heels of the last post regarding the beauty in silliness, we have this: an art exhibit, a giant red ball, and utter chaos.

This is the hilarious moment a stationery art installation made an escape down the road after it was picked up by strong wind.
The big red ball, which is part of the RedBall Project, was visiting Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio when the gust sent it rolling away from its location on Madison Avenue.
A video of the incident shows the ball rolling around a corner before picking up speed and partially running over a car.
Museum staff and bystanders can be seen running after it before eventually catching up, grabbing hold of the ball and stopping it safely.
According to The Blade, spokesman for the Toledo Museum of Art Kelly Garrow said that the ball became dislodged by strong winds and a brief downpour.
It was also reported that the ball sustained damage in some areas during the escape and needed to be patched up.
Staff have said that those with damaged property should contact the museum and that the ball is now being held down by a vehicle.
Brooklyn-based Kurt Perschke is the artist behind the travelling installation RedBall, a 15ft inflatable that weighs 250lbs.
The ball has made an appearance at a number of cities around the world – including London in 2012 – and is said to draw attention to city spaces. 

To quote, "the big red ball is part of the RedBall Project." In other words, an attempt was made to make serious art so serious involving a giant red ball that nobody expected that the big red ball would do what balls are often prone to do.
