But at 7AM, the only person around to answer the phone was a security guard. Takeshi proceeded to calmly dispense instructions for a project that was supposed to occur later that day. After jotting everything down, the guard &ndash; presumably confused and slightly bewildered &ndash; asked if Takeshi needed any help.</p></em><br /><br /><p> Takeshi Miyakawa, as you may recall, was recently arrested for his art installation that was mistaken as a planted bomb in NYC.

Almost immediately, the installation attracted attention, though probably not the kind the artist, Takeshi Miyakawa, expected.</p></em><br /><br /><p> <em>"Mr. Miyakawa also worked for years as a model-maker for the architect Rafael Vi&ntilde;oly, Mr. Lim added."</em></p>
