Self-serving article

Way to pull up a two-year-old story to bolster this self-serving article about your own organization.
You give the impression that this was Fairey's first time in Copenhagen rather than probably his tenth, ignoring that he rode the couch circuit staying with locals around the world, including Copenhagen, in the fifteen years prior to becoming financially successful. Instead, you cherry-picked a single example where he was assaulted by a group of - what did you call people sucker-punching him outside of a gallery? "Activists?" Please.
