    - The article summarizes an incident in New York City where an art student named Clinton Boisvert placed 38 black boxes labeled "FEAR" around the Union Square subway station without permission, causing the station to shut down for 5 hours while police investigated, thinking they may contain bombs. - The article compares this incident to a similar 1994 art project in London where the artist placed suspicious packages in the subway but included plaques explaining it was approved art to avoid causing panic. - Boisvert eventually turned himself in to police after they described a suspect matching his appearance, and faces criticism for not realizing his project would cause such disruption.

    The artist had a great idea: He would put some suspicious packages in the subway to get people thinking about bombs, terrorism and maybe even deeper stuff, like a change in the balance of power. Cool! But this was not 11 days ago here in New York. This was 1994, in the London tube. And the artist, Brooklynite Gregory Green, took one crucial precaution: He put up plaques to explain his project, which had been approved in advance by the subway authorities. That way, nobody had to shut the station for five hours. Here in New York, Clinton Boisvert would have done well to follow that model. Instead, he placed 38 black boxes labeled "FEAR" around the Union Square subway station Dec. 11. After the cops dismantled the packages, they set out to find a suspect described as "artsy" by a commuter who'd seen him.

    The profiling worked. Even as police were seeking, presumably, a guy with a goatee, black clothes and a tattoo, they got lucky when School of Visual Arts freshman Boisvert - goatee and black coat, yes, tattoo status unknown - turned himself in. Apparently he had no idea his boxes would cause such a commotion. "He'd have to live in a black box to be that dumb," opined a colleague.
