Carrots causes security alert














An art installation commissioned by Kalmar Museum of Art in Sweden caused the Swedish secret police to intervene and stop the performance. The Bunny Project, created by artist Conny Blom was forced to remove the 15 carrot bombs placed in public after members of the public called in to report the sightings.

The Culture Minister also refused to give her speech there if it continued. Ironically, the speech was about how art must be allowed to be free and provocative.
