First of all, I don't get any adult's fascination with "Hello, Kitty!(TM)" or any other Japanese girl-child fad du generation!

Hello! Are you kidding?

But these "sculptures" on display at the Lever House really puzzle me. The piece above replaced the Damien Hirst "Virgin Mother," which, while disturbing, at least seemed... artistically proficient. This piece seems to mock Hirst's work, while not really looking like much of anything.

Are they just winding us up?

These "sculptures" just look kind of weird, and... watery.

Why do the bunnies weep?

They weep for us

So, I just have to say to the Lever House art director: Hello, Lever House!Honestly? What's up with this stuff?

Shouldn't they be scooping up field mice or something?

There will be more Lever House "art" in the next few weeks, since there are at least three new exhibits, including the weird What's Up With the Hello Kitty?stuff above.
