Artists convert Trump hotel suite into anti-Trump exhibit
BY JOSH DELK - 03/31/18 02:33 PM EDT
A group of anti-Trump artists turned a Trump Organization hotel room in New York City into an exhibit this week, complete with a President Trump impersonator and live rats.
The prankster collective known as INDECLINE, known for its installations of nude Trump statues and provocative art pieces in cities across the country, reportedly snuck in the materials for the exhibit in suitcases without raising eyebrows in the Trump International Hotel.
A group of seven artists "trojan-horsed" the artwork and supplies into the hotel Thursday afternoon, and worked through the entire night to complete the massive display, one member told Page Six.
"The People's Prison," a project dedicated to “celebrate the United States’ history of activism and protest," featured the impersonator in golden handcuffs and a "MAGA" hat inside a mock jail cell with rats and scattered McDonald's wrappers on the ground.
