Artist Takeshi Miyakawa was arrested by the NYPD this weekend while installing part of a public art project consisting of plastic I [HEART] NY bags lanterns hanging from lamp posts. Some Greenpoint residents around Bedford and Lorimer saw something and said something, and the cops came to lock Mayakawa up pending a psychological evaluation. "He wanted to promote a positive message," said a friend. [NYT]
