"Just ask that Russian artist, Peter Pavlensky, whose “art” consisted of arson. He sets fire to the door of the Lubyanka office of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) in Moscow, for a tableau called “freedom,” walks away with a fine and runs off to France where two years later, in 2017, he decides that for his next masterpiece he’d set fire to the Bank of France’s windows – because art these days just means being a raving douchebag, apparently. He ends up spending enough time in French prison to try his hand at the “art” of hunger striking. " - the article is heavily laden with sarcasm & rightly so.
