Guest beardo Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Art Student Admits Planting Boxes In Subway Station DECEMBER 17TH, 2002 An art student has confessed to planting dozens of suspicious boxes that led to the evacuation of the Union Square subway station last week,. Clinton Boisvert, 25, a student at the School of Visual Arts, turned himself in to the Manhattan district attorney’s office Monday. He admitted he placed the 38 black boxes, labeled with the word “fear,” around the busy station last Wednesday. Boisvert said the stunt was part of an assignment to study reactions to art in public places. His lawyer said it was “an innocent art project gone awry.” Police evacuated the subway station and trains skipped the stop for about five hours as the bomb squad investigated the boxes, which were attached to walls, benches and floors. The boxes, some painted black and others wrapped in electrical tape, were determined to be empty and the station was reopened. Boisvert was charged with aggravated harassment and reckless endangerment. http://www.ny1.com/Content/images/live/36/71504.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Mang Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 personally, i feel that the 'project' was absolutely brilliant on many levels. it's the type of creativity i'd expect from somebody like the guys at kastsystem. pure radness.

(assuming) under normal circumstances, a little black box with fear written on it would be a non issue. it appears the boxes were placed to capitalize on the current state of mind that new yorkers/americans are opperating under. theres nothing to indicate that the boxes were anything more than just empty boxes. yet, people are walking around in such a state of constant fear that the slightest suggestion triggers the most grim perception. it is my belief that the whole point of this was to illustrate the irrational fear that terrorism lies behind every corner. cant believe i had to explain this to someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
