Shepard Fairey was attacked this weekend in Copenhagen by four men outside of an after-party for the renowned street artist’s gallery show. The attack apparently stemmed from a public mural of a dove that Fairey painted near the site of a contentious former arts venue/leftist political venue Ungdomshuset (The Youth House).
