Julian Assange isn’t worth this.

Rich people love to piss away money and culture.

EDIT: Honestly probably an art-world money laundering scheme of some kind, with Assange as a convenient excuse.

Instead, the artist added, he is trying to spark a discussion over why “destroying the life of people means nothing but destroying art is a huge taboo in the world”.

I always feel a visceral hatred of the narrow definition of art as ‘technically impressive paintings’. This act is itself art, it doesn’t have to be for everyone.

Yes the threat is permanent and destructive, it kind of has to be, that’s the point.

I wonder how many great things he could have accomplished with the money he spent on this publicity stunt?
