The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam held the world premiere of the first exhibition outside the UK of Damien Hirst’s diamond covered skull, also known as For the Love of God. “In an attempt to collect the widely differing opinions of those who have actually seen the exhibition, the Rijksmuseum has launched a special website. On their way out, visitors are invited to leave a video message by speaking into a camera. The website shows Hirst’s skull as the shining center of a solar system and a cloud of mug shots of visitors which is orbiting the skull like little stars. Clicking on one of the faces enlarges it and automatically starts the video message.”
