Protest Artist Arrested for Carrying Placard Reading "Nooses On Sale" in Boston's financial district
The Boston Phoneix reports
22 years ago artists Milan Kohout was expelled from Czechoslavakia by the secret police.
After being forced out of Czechoslovakia, Kohout was granted political asylum in the United States, studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, became a US citizen, and -- now able to make his avocation his vocation -- joined Mobius, the internationally acclaimed local artists group.
Kohout, who has taught at Tufts and at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, and participated in art programs in China, Taiwan, Croatia, Poland, and Cuba, is now facing criminal charges here in Boston as a result of a one-man performance he staged this past November in front of a Bank of America office in the Financial District.
