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.”

*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…
