Let's take Thorarinn Jonsson out of the school context and put him in the jail context. By decontextualizing him from his current setting and then recontextualizing him in a different setting, he acquires new meaning through transformative process. This is from the Tantor school of art, my blue period, an art installation I call "When Art Is Crime Is Art". My fear is that this piece will be misunderstood by Jonsson who may think himself merely a prisoner when he has actually become art himself. I am working on a subsequent installation for Mr. Jonsson called "Buster The Dominant Cellmate and His Bitch Thorarinn." I have an idea for an art project, too.

You have to put a note on your art project explaining that it's not really a missile. This is why you leave "art" to the professionals from "art" school. @41: Of COURSE they’ll notice, Dave.

WHO PAID IT? His lawyer said his client "hails from a high-profile Icelandic family and is in Canada on a student visa." VISA SHOULD BE REVOKED, PERSON SHOULD BE DEPORTED BACK TO LOVELY ICELAND. AND HOW HIGH PROFILE CAN YOU BE IN ICELAND? The Ontario College of Art and Design has suspended Mr. Jonsson and his production class teachers pending an internal investigation. YES, HE HAS LOST HIS STUDENT VISA AND SHOULD RETURN HOME. "Teaching while an Idiot" should be an indictable offense. More on this idiot: He was was released from jail on $33,000 bail. WHO PAID IT?

There's no form, no method, no boundaries and no justification. That's not art. That's a public display of a lunatic mind -- and not the creative type of lunacy either.
