Shia LaBeouf Ends Live Stream of Anti-Trump Performance Art Piece

The actor informed his followers via social media Thursday that the stream was taken down after gunshots were reported near the downtown Albuquerque, N.M., location where the piece was recently relocated.

Actor Shia LaBeouf is citing safety concerns in cutting the live stream from the political performance art piece that was installed in downtown Albuquerque, N.M., just days ago.

The actor informed his followers via social media Thursday that the stream was taken down after gunshots were reported in the area.

He says the safety of participants was paramount.

LaBeouf and two other artists on Saturday mounted a camera to a wall with the message "He will not divide us," referring to President Donald Trump. The artists encouraged people to go to the camera and repeat the phrase.

LaBeouf was arrested in New York City last month after getting into an altercation with a man during the performance.

He faces a misdemeanor assault charge and has an April 4 court date.

museum failed to address our concerns about the misleading framing of our piece as a political rally, rather than as a participatory performance artwork resisting the normalisation of division," the actor says."]
