Video Blogger James Kalm offers up a nice walkthrough of Damien Hirst's latest foray into the macabre, "School: The Archaeology of Lost Desires, Comprehending Infinity, and the Search for Knowledge" at the Lever House, Park Ave. and 54th st in NYC. The installation cost over $1 million to produce and features (among other items) 30 lamb carcasses suspended in formaldehyde sprawled out on hospital gurneys and fed by hanging IV tubes. Here in Denver we had a chance to see one of Hirst's formaldehyde displays (a bulls head suspended in a glass tank) as part of the Radar show, and I posted some pix of his shark installation at the Met, but if you simply can't get enough Hirst carcass, click here for Kalm's YouTube video. Here's a link to the NY Times article on the installation "Art-World Excess Goes to the Butcher Shop" by Carol Vogel.
