HONG KONG — A massive inflatable floating sculpture reminiscent of Mickey Mouse was towed into Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor on Friday, as a crowd of curious locals looked on. The 37-metre (121-foot) piece called KAWS:HOLIDAY — about the length of three double-decker buses — is the work of American artist KAWS, who is known for his whimsical characters which have Xs for eyes. Tugboats towed the macabre grey figure — a character named COMPANION, floating on its back — into the harbor and stationed it off Hong Kong's busy Central district. Part of an art festival in the city, it will remain there until the end of the month. — AFP
