London Police Help Promote Fake Gun Dealing Artist

Threatened with arrest, a London artist has abandoned plans to install vending machines stocked with fake guns near local schools. As part of an attention-seeking investigation into violence, Ben Turnbull had also hoped to capture children’s reactions to the provocative “bubble-gun” dispensers using a hidden camera and a photographer lurking nearby. After successfully generating some controversy and attention for himself, Turnbull plans to display the work, “Kids Have Everything These Days,” outside a gallery show opportunely opening next month. |This is London|
