Reaction: Shepard Fairey's Boston Arrest


utterli-image
Shepard Fairey, the street artist behind the now iconic red, white and blue "Hope" image of President Barack Obama was supposed to be celebrating his first major solo museum exhibit in Boston this weekend.



Instead he was in jail. Boston police arrested Fairey just before his opening party at the Institute for Contemporary Arts Friday night. He's scheduled to be arraigned on property damages charges today.



WBUR's Andrea Shea visited the ICA exhibit this weekend to talk with people about the arrest.

I went to the members opening on Wednesday, the lecture on Thursday and then the Obey: Experiment on Friday.

BPD certainly are a confused bunch in my opinion. Total amateur hour move taking him down on the way into his own show.

On the bright side Z-Trip rocked the decks all night long in Shep's absence.
