I don't have anything to say about this spherical Volkswagen Bus sculpture, really, except that it's totally rad.

more on this (including a quick time move where you can manually rotate the sphere and another clip of the sphere, er, moving!)
Kicking off our new Contemporary Projects Series at the Fleming Museum is Volkswagenball, a recent addition to an ongoing body of work by Lars-Erik Fisk. A graduate of the University of Vermont art department, Fisk has worked as an independent artist in Burlington and New York City, and as artistic director of the band Phish. Since 1996, he has created a series of large, spheroid sculptures that refer to specific objects, buildings, and vehicles. The works merge pop and minimalist sensibilities with a playful sense of humor and impeccable craftsmanship. Fisk’s earliest works in this series were exhibited on the Museum’s lawn in 1997, and included, among others, Street Ball, Tree Ball, and UPS Ball. Later works in the series included architectural and vehicular subjects, such as Barn Ball and School Bus Ball, and his newest piece, Volkswagenball, which will be exhibited at the Fleming this summer.
