Artist Takashi Murakami is (unnecessarily) collaborating with Kirsten Dunst and director McG (previously) for a "video project" that involves Dunst in cosplay singing "Turning Japanese" in the streets of Tokyo. I can't really defend this one: It's just so weird, and paradoxically derivative. For something a bit more inspiring, go see Murakami's new painting "A Picture Of The Blessed Lion Who Stares At Death" at Gagosian Gallery in Chelsea. I saw this a few weeks ago and it was pretty grand.
