Damien Hirst, the artist with the biggest death-obsession around, is back in town with a pretty remarkable exhibit, The man responsible for diamond-encrusted skulls, and tiger sharks submerged in formaldehyde, has set up the classroom from Hell in the lobby of Lever House. That, or the set of the next Stephen King/Tim Burton project. School: The Archeology of Lost Desires, Comprehending Infinity, and the Search for Knowledge, includes 15 medicine cabinets, 30 sheep, one shark, two sides of beef, a chair, a chain of sausages, an umbrella and a birdcage with a dead dove...anybody hungry?
The exhibit is free, and runs until February 9th, when the displays will be returned to Chinatown and sold as the lunch specials. You should check it out.
