Dying crickets glued to the wall is art?

The thousand chirruping crickets went on sale as food for pet iguanas, but the Spanish artist Ismael Alabado decided they would look better glued to a wall, dying a slow death for the sake of art.

Some visitors to his exhibition, held in Cáceres, western Spain, were nonplussed, but others were outraged. One visitor went off to find some insecticide and returned to put the crickets out of their misery.

Now police are investigating whether to prosecute for animal cruelty, as Alabado claims curtailment to his artistic freedom. More...
