im hoping it would stick in court, it was a victimless offense, great idea indeed

 

[daveycrockett]

wait, youre hoping? this is you man. please let me know.I dont care i just think its funny. people from where i am at say their shit is art when half the time they are just scamming for cash from people who dont know any better and are "starved" for culture.

 

[crow jane]

You got me wrong, im not saying if that is or isnt art, I just hope people in the court think it is art or any other thing just to avoid these guys from goin to jail for something that did not harm anybody anyway

the video said breaking and entering got dropped and all they got them on was trespassing. so a slap on the wrist; not jail..
this is an old story (but a cool one none the less)

oh, sorry, though trespassing was about the same, but with less ''intensity''

ha, kinda always dreamt of doing shit similar like this when i was a lil kid. Wanted to live in the rafters of a kroger or walmart and come out at night xD

Yeah who the fuck cares if these dudes made money off people in the name of art... If someone is stupid enough to think a pile of shit on a canvas is art then so be it... Obviously I hope they avoid prosecution...

(I didn't even watch the video so I'm not saying what they were claiming art is shit just saying in general)

maybe you should watch the video

Best thing to remember when it comes to abstract art is, you could have done it first, but you didn't so suck it.

Looked like a nice place. All it needed was running water.

A group of buddies in nyc and myself converted a huge air duct (fourteen feet high) into a squat. Super warm in the winter. Lived there for two years. Completely undetected. It was awesome. Popcorn for days. It was an active movie theatre.
