Dozens of grannies / Leaning against a tree

Today’s top art stories:

Rabbit knitted by dozens of grannies* out of pink wool
“The 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava mountain in northern Italy’s Piedmont region. Viennese art group Gelatin designed the giant soft toy and say it was “knitted by dozens of grannies out of pink wool”.”

Art left leaning against tree abducted
“In a seminal episode of dangling potential, Ade lun sec and Peter I. Robinson paint a painting, imbed it with a global positioning device, leave it leaning against a tree in Dolores Park, allow it to be abducted, and then monitor its subsequent geographical adventures on Google Earth, mapped out and projected onto the gallery wall for all to see.”

(These stories originally found via We Make Money Not Art and Drawn!)

*Other news reports don’t take the ‘dozens of grannies’ quite so literally. But why let the facts get in the way of a good headline I say…

    I love this second idea, perhaps we could try leaving a bible on a bus and see where that goes?

    How can a 200 ft long rabbit be a TOY rabbit? That’s one big baby!

    I was trying to work out why the grannies were leaning against a tree…

    There is a site for leaving books in places which I blogged about a while ago called Book Crossing. Not sure if they accept religious books though.

    I’m glad the juxtaposition of headlines was pleasing to someone Sarah.

    Simo – you and your buses.
