A museum where Shia LaBeouf was staging a four-year, anti-President Trump protest says it’s shuttering the exhibit because it had become a “flashpoint for violence.”

The “Transformers” actor had launched “HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US” on Inauguration Day at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York. The performance art project asked participants to step in front of a fixed camera and repeat the mantra, “He will not divide us.” The camera was poised to live-stream continuously for the entirety of Trump’s time in office.

But just days after it opened, LaBeouf was arrested following an altercation during the protest. The 30-year-old performer was accused of pulling a scarf off another man and scratching his face, according to The Associated Press.

“The installation created a serious and ongoing public safety hazard for the museum, its visitors, its staff, local residents and businesses,” the museum said in a Friday statement provided to ITK. "The installation had become a flashpoint for violence and was disrupted from its original intent."

Saying it began "constructively," the museum said the exhibit "deteriorated markedly after one of the artists was arrested at the site of the installation and ultimately necessitated this action."

"Over the course of the installation, there have been dozens of threats of violence and numerous arrests, such that police felt compelled to be stationed outside the installation 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

The New York Post first reported news of the closure.

While LaBeouf's protest "generated an important conversation allowing interaction among people from many backgrounds and with different viewpoints," the museum said, "ending our engagement with the installation is the most prudent path forward to restore public safety to the Museum, its visitors, staff, and the community."
