assasination exhibit? that's a negative.

The artist, Yazmany Arboleda, had a simple and what he probably thought as a clever idea. He would display an art exhibit entitled "The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama." It would be filled with opinionated works of art with ofcoarse a political theme. He probably thought he was in America, and of all place the Big Apple would be the center of free expression and acceptance. Logical enough. Alas...he was wrong. After being tipped off, he was immediately arrest and charged for domestic terrorism.

Whooopsi!

"By 9:30 a.m., New York City police detectives and Secret Service agents had shut down the exhibition, and building workers had quickly covered over the inflammatory title with large sheets of brown paper and blue masking tape." {NTY}.


Everyone claims to not know what the artist had planned. But the artist claims that he has been promoting his exhibit for a long time. Hmmmmm. Me thinks me smells the Patriot Act?

Anyway. Check out his websites before thet get shut down. Its not really art in my opinion, but some of it is kinda controversial...but really, would it be any fun if it wasn't?

Heres a lil taste....

You can decide for yourself if thats real artistic expression or just a publicity stunt.
