Anti-gay vandalism becomes art
Stacks of vandalized gay books at the San Francisco Public Library are being transformed into art. Two years ago staff began discovering gay and lesbian topical books slashed, faces with the eyes and mouth cut out in repetitive almond-shaped gaps, multiple copies of the same book slashed in almost exactly the same manner. 46-year-old security guard John Perkyns was finally caught, having destroyed 607 books. "Reversing Vandalism" will transform the hundreds of vandalized books into art for an exhibit planned for next spring. SF Examiner
