A Masters student in Scotland has been fined for smashing a gallery window in the name of art. After issuing several warnings, 27-year-old Kevin Harman drove a metal pole through the glass at Edinburgh’s Collective Gallery last month.

The Edinburgh College of Art student was forced to pay $320 for the artwork, or “vandalism” as Collective Gallery put it, which he videotaped and screened at another local gallery, according to the Guardian. Even including the $560 he shelled out to replace the window, that’s not a bad price for the press, especially as they continue to promote his next show: an installation of the shattered glass and court papers. |Guardian|
