Minneapolis man says naked swim was art

Patrick Scully, 58, a locally known performance artist in Minneapolis say’s he’s fighting the ticket he received July 10 for swimming nude at a Sweeney Beach on Twin Lake because he thinks society is too repressive. Police says he just broke the law requiring proper attire in city parks, while the culprit says it was performance art.
