We can come up with numerous similar corner cases, but it's clear that you are taking your well-noted extreme Libertarian stance a bit too far here.
It 100% matters whether this was sincere, both in judging the validity of closing the display and in judging the "artist" herself.

well yeah, you need a permit, but they can't deny you one just because they don't like it.
and if you went through with it, then it counts as an artistic effort, whether you mean it or not. You could be faking the motivation for holding a gun to your head, but you still have a right to due it (barring lack of proper paper-work of course)
