PechaKucha Night in Gothenburg organizer Jesper Larsson sends us this bit of terrifying news regarding one of the city’s previous presenters, artist Lars Vilks.
Threatened Swedish artist and previous PechaKucha Gothenburg presenter (Pecha Kucha GBG Vol #10) Lars Vilks says he’s not exactly “shaking with fear” despite the news from Ireland that police there on Tuesday arrested seven people for allegedly plotting to kill the Swede for a drawing he created three years ago which depicted the Prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog.
You can read more about the story here and here, and there’s also a Wikipedia entry on the topic. Vilks was a presenter at PKN Gothenburg Vol. 10, where he talked about his amazing “Nimis” installation (pictured).
