Artist/Self-Mutilator Pyotr Pavlensky Sentenced For Setting Fire To Bank Of France

PEOPLE Posted: January 15, 2019 5:01 am

The high-pain-threshold artist, who claimed political asylum in France in May 2017, ignited the façade of the country’s central bank the following October. A court has sentenced him to time served (a year) plus a two-year suspended sentence. His ex-girlfriend, who fled with him, received a 16-month suspended sentence. The pair was also fined more than €21,000, which they say they won’t pay. — Hyperallergic
