Joshua Monroe: The Man Who Makes Nude Trump Statues


The artist behind five headline-attracting, ball-less statues of Donald Trump that appeared in American cities Thursday, reveals he was planning to vote Trump—and would now like to work on a set of Hillary Clinton statues.
Residents in five neighborhoods of New York City, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Cleveland awoke to discover a life-sized, naked Donald Trump statue in their midst.
The five identical statues were erected simultaneously at around 8:00 am ET on August 18th and tweets about the sculptures began almost immediately.

The studio behind the project, the self-described “American Activist Collective”INDECLINE, was credited on the base of each sculpture and the artist’s signature, “Ginger,” was engraved in each clay figure. The Washington Post broke the story that INDECLINE was behind the project and released some of the first statements by the studio.
