Judge absolves hoax artists in San Francisco art stunt
U.S. District Judge Alfonso J. Zirpoli dismissed charges against three individuals calling themselves Sam's Date for a March mass stunt in San Francisco. They sent phony bills totaling 76.40 to 20 000 middle income residents and mailed excrement to media and critics as a purported conceptual art piece. An art critic endorsed the act as conceptual art and the case was framed as a test of art versus public disruption.
