A stone is taken from a mountain and installed in a gallery, by Deleted on Apr 8, 2015 18:52:16 GMT 1, Not really street art, but i had to post this on this board:
Oscar Santillan 'Stole' the top of highest English mountain (Scafell Pike) and exhibits it in Copperfield Galerie in Londen.
Britain just got shorter โ in the name of art. Scafell Pike in Cumbria is the highest peak in England, at 3,209 feet. Or at least, it was, until Oscar Santillan came along.
In a new exhibition at a south London gallery, the artist has installed a modest bit of rock. Unfortunately, the rock also happens to have been taken off the top of Scafell Pike.
The Ecuadorian-born Dutch artist has defended his work, called the Intruder, saying his actions are no different from taking a pebble off the beach โ the stone in question is one inch across. Ian Stephens of Cumbria Tourism disagrees. He acknowledges that the Lake District has always inspired artists, โwho have all taken a piece of this landscape away in the figurative senseโ. But this is different, says Stephens: โWe want the top of our mountain back.โ

The title is: "Dutch student steals top of highest English mountain." And England is only part of the UK, right?

Good thing we have little Englanders who protest about tourists taking stones home with them.
UKIP haven't latched onto this yet have they?

It's not as if they measure the hight often.
If ever.
