The BBC reports that Aaron Barschak has been jailed for 28 days for throwing paint over a Turner Prize nominated artist. The sentence came despite claims that he was “collaborating” with Jake Chapman and his brother, Dinos.

In police interviews after his arrest, he said he had “incorporated” Mr Chapman into a work of art of his own, adding: “I painted him.”
