Edward Snowden’s bust- a 4-foot-high, 100-pound sculpted bust of the whistleblower now exiled in Russia was sneaked into Brooklyn’s Fort Greene Park on Monday before dawn. The mysterious perpetrators, a small group of artists, hoisted the bust to the top of a Revolutionary War memorial, adding his name to a column, according to Animal New York.
Snowden’s artistic appearance was short-lived. At daybreak, police said city parks officials ordered the sculpted Snowden removed. And by evening, his bust was being held at Brooklyn’s 88th Precinct pending an investigation.
