Sculptor Prosecuted

A faithful Clancco readers sends us this interesting bit from The Christian Science Monitor concerning a guerilla artist and his prosecution. Albeit somewhat dated, better late than never.

With more than 3,000 people from as far away as Korea and Brazil joining a Facebook group calling for charges to be thrown out, [Joe] Carnevale’s monster stunt touches on the growing legitimacy and celebrity of guerrilla artists. In many ways, sympathy for Carnevale stems from a cultural resistance to authority and the celebration of harmless fun in the face of overly serious prosecutors.
