An art exhibit focused on the “assassination” of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama drew attention from New York police, federal agents and the Secret Service.
A New York Times blog reports that 27-year-old artist Yazmany Arboleda attempted to set up the exhibit in a vacant storefront on West 40th Street in Manhattan with the title “The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama.”
Arboleda was able to display his work for all of 30 minutes before officials descended on the property, shutting the exhibit down.
As for its creator: he was led away in handcuffs.

Arboleda insists that the exhibit is not about a literal assassination, saying, “It’s art. It’s not supposed to be harmful. It’s about character assassination — about how Obama and Hillary have been portrayed by the media.”
“It’s about the media.”
