Shepard Fairey assaulted in Copenhagen
Ok, so we didn’t promise all the things on the list would be uplifting. Shepard was visiting Denmark on behalf of V1, a notable local Copenhagen gallery that perhaps didn’t do their homework in clearing an already controversial place for him to paint. Or maybe they didn’t care — it would get media attention. Particularly disturbing was that a few European “anarchists” though it would be fair to beat up and injure an artist to make their point. Love Fairey or hate him, it’s never okay to kick the shit out of an artist because of his work. Know history.
