COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- An artist with 780 gallons of red dye, three fire hoses and a 20-member crew at his disposal went to Greenland in search of a blank canvas large enough to accommodate his creative impulse.

hmmm the goldfish in a blender exhibit was just wrong, but I am curious with his blatent disregard for animal cruelty, how this "dye" will affect the eco system of the water?????Is it safe? will it affect the wildlife in that area????What about when the iceberg melts? are we going to see lasting affects of this for years to come on other icebergs confusing the changes scientists might oserve in that ecosystem....

I am a little leery or someone who feels they need to decorate nature.....I dunno man, Im an artist and I wouldnt without LOOOOOOTs of research.

And if he did take the time to make sure his dye was environmentally friendly......might be cool to see all the surrounding icebergs different colors.

Hmmm I am interested in this guys intentions though. Is it performance art, or some fucked up statement destroying nature.

Yeah, really. I'm thinking why not?? Why did Warhol do soup cans? Why did Escher do tesselations?
