Shia LaBeouf's Anti-Trump Installation Shut Down Over Violence & Safety Concerns

Shia LaBeouf's anti-Trump installation has officially been closed. The exhibit was part of the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, N.Y. and is concerned it has become a public hazard.

“The installation created a serious and ongoing public safety hazard for the Museum, its visitors, staff, local residents, and businesses," the museum's statement reads. "The installation had become a flashpoint for violence and was disrupted from its original intent." It continues:

“While the installation began constructively, it deteriorated markedly after one of the artists was arrested on the site of the installation and ultimately necessitated this action. Over the course of the installation, there have been dozens of threats of violence and numerous arrests, such that police felt compelled to be stationed outside the installation 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We take our commitment to the safety of our 200,000 annual visitors and 50,000 school children attending programs at the Museum seriously, along with the safety and security of our staff and community.”
