Jumping for joy... Lepus Animatus, Hyungkoo Lee
" This narrative, togther with the relative size of the creatures, reminded the viewer less of untrammeled Darwinism, than of old-fashioned cel animation. Tom and Jerry, to be precise and then, looking closer, one discovered that in fact it was. To be specific: resin approximations of the bones of MGM's best loved double-act, complete with the implication that they had been actual, living creatures. And for the cartoon fan, it got worse: in the nest room, laid out as if after an autopsy, was what looked suspiciously like, the skull of Goofy." -Shane Danielsen (Tuesday 14 August, guardian.co.uk)
In this current climate, is it morally wrong for artists to be anything other than deadly serious? What happens if they just want to make us giggle?
