Some of the encounters proved confrontational, such as this one shot by Hal Rudnick, host of YouTube channel Screen Junkies, which mocked the art project.Ī statement publicising the project said: “Shia LaBeouf is sorry. For five days, members of the public queued to be able to sit alone with him in the room with a prop of their choice. #IAMSORRY involved LaBeouf sitting silently behind a desk in a room in LA’s Cohen gallery with a paper bag bearing the legend “I am not famous anymore” over his head. He said: “When she came in she asked for an explanation, and I couldn’t speak, so we both sat with this unexplained trauma silently. LaBeouf said that news of the incident “travelled through the line” of people waiting, and reached his girlfriend. Beyond that, it’s not my place to comment.” “ She ran out, rather than simply walking away. The artist replied: “It wasn’t clear at the time precisely what had happened, & the 1st priority was to ensure everybody’s safety in the gallery … Turner later provided more details of the incident after Piers Morgan asked him on Twitter why they had let the rapist “just walk away”. Turner did not respond when asked if the incident was reported to the police, but said that their collaboration with the actor continued. “As soon as we were aware of the incident starting to occur, we put a stop to it and ensured that the woman left.” “Nowhere did we state that people could do whatever they wanted to Shia during #IAMSORRY.
His collaborators, British artist Luke Turner and Finnish artist Nastja Säde Rönkkö, said they had intervened as soon as they became aware of the incident and “put a stop to it”.īoth artists posted the same statements on Twitter on Sunday, which they described as “important clarifications” about the art project.
“One woman who came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened, whipped my legs for 10 minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me.” In an interview with Dazed magazine, LaBeouf wrote that a woman had raped him during one performance of the piece at a Los Angeles art gallery in February. Two artists who collaborated with the actor Shia LaBeouf on an art project called #IAMSORRY have spoken out about his alleged rape during the performance earlier this year.
