Hey Folks,
Here are the installation photos we took to document the show in situ at The MINE Factory. For those of you who couldn't come, we hope you enjoy this unique vision celebrating our beloved sphere.
Sincerely,
The Founders
Founded in 2011, The International Sphaeralogical Society was created to celebrate the history and dynamism of the Super Ball®. Invented by chemist Norman Stingley in 1965 and sold by the Wham-O Manufacturing Co., the iconic toy has been the subject of fascination and play for almost half a century. The I.S.S. is dedicated to exploring and promoting the allure of this bounciest of balls.

Alexandra Oliver review's SUPER°BALL on WORDS &TC. Art Blog
I am pleased to report that SUPER•BALL - despite my earlier concerns - did receive critical attention in the media. Alexandra Oliver of WORDS &TC., An Art Blog, wrote a thoughtful review of the show that I am happy to share with you. I am grateful to her for her insights and enjoyed chatting with her after the gallery talk. I truly appreciate her interest and perspective.

Enjoy!
