Jester …A
man walks into an art gallery, produces a shotgun and shoots Monet's 'Impression
Sunrise'. Calling himself 'Jester', he holds the rest of the paintings to ransom
and promises to shoot one masterpiece on the hour every hour until his demands
are met. His demands are simple - he is to be paid one million pounds in cash
for his new 'work of art'. The work of art in question is the remains of
"Impression, Sunrise"… Jester
is the ultimate, cool master criminal. He broadcasts his ‘siege’ live on the
web and asks viewers to vote for which paintings he should blow away next. When
the story hits the news, a national debate is sparked about art, in which
Jester's work is dubbed 'Destructivist'. Critics register their joy that Jester
has made no attempt to explain his work, thus leaving them the chance to inform
the public about the significance of it all. But is it art, or criminal
vandalism? Will the authorities negotiate a deal with an artistic terrorist?
Will Jester get away with it, or will it all end in a whirlwind of violence.
