The recently concluded Kochi Biennale art festival ended on a sour note for the artist who was being charged an exorbitant fee to transport his works away from the festival.
He says he was asked to cough up Rs. 10,000 for transporting six boxes over a distance of ten feet.

In protest against the labour union which was responsible for the charges, Waswo uploaded a YouTube video of him destroying a few pieces after the festival, throwing some terracotta creations from his exhibition out into the open.
