[Culturechat] Body painter gets a fine

[Vance Roy]

Some of you may remember that some weeks ago a Swiss "artist" got about 
200 women to let him paint their nude bodies with paint. He formed them 
into a collage and documented this for some sort of record. The 
newspaper published a photo of them running across from the hotel and 
jumping into Lake Luzern to wash off.

Today, he was fined 1100 CHF because the paint contained a substance 
listed on the toxic list, and he was charged with polluting the lake.

He says that in the name of art, he may appeal his fine through the 
courts.

Life just gets crazier and crazier.
