The Assassination of Art

Earlier this year, the police shut down an art exhibit without realizing that it was all an elaborate ruse concocted with the intention of causing a stir that would most likely result in it being shut down. It was titled “The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama”.

Next Wednesday, The Art Directors Club is giving Yazmany Arboleda, the artist behind the controversial non-exhibit, a venue for an actual exhibit based on what the fake exhibit actually would have been. It’s titled “The Assassination of Art, When Politics and Art Collide”. There will also be a panel discussion about Yazmany’s “The Keller Gates Project”.

The most notable part of “The Assassination of Art” is a giant black penis. It’s really a sight to see. Truth be told, giant is a gross understatement.

Here’s everything you need to know:

What: Yazmany Arboleda’s “The Assassination of Art, When Politics and Art Collide”
When: Wednesday, September 24th @ 6:30 - 8 pm
Where: The Art Directors Club @ 106 West 29th Street
Cost: Free for members, $20 for non-members and $10 for students
