Title: It's not easy being green! Date: 2003 Specifications: 28 pages, black and white Details: Artist's book, signed and numbered Size: 21.5 X 14cm (8,5 X 5.5 in) Edition size: 300 Language: English Printing process: Offset Price: 15 USD Synopsis: It's not easy being green! focuses on the poetic and humorous public responses to Eduardo Kac's "GFP Bunny" — which involves the creation and social integration of a green glowing bunny named Alba. The book is a kaleidoscopic montage of images and texts, including cartoons, novel excerpts, radio limericks, children's emails, TV broadcasts, headlines, and webpostings. Every page includes contributions from authors other than the artist — from France to Australia, from Russia to Colombia — truly reflecting the multifaceted reception of "GFP Bunny". It's not easy being green! is exemplary of Kac's continuously evolving reflection on the relationship between humans and animals.
