Artists erect giant pink bunny on mountain
An enormous pink bunny has been erected on an Italian mountainside where it will stay for the next 20 years.



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".

Group member Wolfgang Gantner said: "It's supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can't help but smile."

And Gelatin members say the bunny is not just for walking around - they are expecting hikers to climb its 20 foot sides and relax on its belly.

The giant rabbit is expected to remain on the mountain side until 2025.

That's what passes for art these days?

Perhaps jbmagic would have more insight on this?

EDIT:

Having taken a look at the picture again, I'm immediately reminded of Matt Groening's depictions of rabbits...

Tell me about it... remember the good old days when artists were spreading elephant shit on the Virgin Mary?

AWESOME!

Coincidentally, the King of the Hill art episode is on right now. Funny stuff.

So it's gonna lay there for 20 years? I'm guessing that by 2010 it gets pretty rank...

what's an arist...?

dola, pretty neat though

I wonder if there's a satellite image available for this? Google earth, maybe?

Nice! All we need now is a statue to pay homage to the Trix rabbit.
