Gotta love the art pranks.
Uh.
JAIL?!
I like it when Tom Green graffitis his own art at a gallery and everyone gets upset. Of course no one suggested he should do jail time.
Also, I would suggest "art pranks" are as much art as a painting. The idea to put it in the gallery uninvited was surely thought about. Sort of painting + performance.
agreed. word verif is exporing, which is the act of putting your art, uninvited, in a public exhibition.
moobs
i read the article online, and was pleased to see that, of the dozens of comments posted, the support for the artist (and anger at the gov't) is pretty much unanimous.
metio.
According to the article, the artist didn't hang the work...how can he be charged with anything?
