Shia LaBeouf Announces Running-Based Performance Art Appearances

'Transformers' star Shia LaBeouf turned to Twitter this week to announce that he is doing a performance-art piece based around his running workouts.

Tweeted the actor:

RUN:
- to move swiftly on foot
- to PROCESS or execute a PROGRAM or instruction
- an unbroken series of PERFORMANCES

He later added "#METAMARATHON at the @Stedelijk Amsterdam 09.25.14."

According to ET, the Amsterdam museum confirmed the event in question, revealing that LaBeouf will "#metamarathon walk around the building of the Stedelijk Museum," and "visitors are invited to join ...running shoes are optional."

As BWW reported earlier this month, LaBeouf pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct at a June performance of Roundabout's Cabaret at New York's Studio 54. Following his plea, THE JUDGE ordered him to complete 6 months of outpatient alcohol rehab, of which he has already completed three. In addition, if the actor obeys all laws for the next 6 months, the case will be stricken from his record.

In July, LaBeouf had been charged in Manhattan Criminal Court with two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of criminal trespassing. Back in June, the actor was seen smoking inside the New York theater and engaging in other disruptive behavior during the performance of Cabaret. When he was asked to leave, he refused and then threatened police officers and people on the sidewalk outside.

LaBeouf departed the production of Broadway's ORPHANS last season, following creative differences. He was replaced by Ben Foster, who co-starred with Alec Baldwin and Tom Sturridge.

Earlier in 2014, LaBeouf joined and then quickly departed ROCK THE KASBAH, a comedy film being directed by Barry Levinson. In February, he noted that he was 'retiring from public life because of attacks against his artistic integrity.'

LaBeouf began his career in the Disney Channel series Even Stevens, for which he received a Daytime Emmy Award, and with his film debut in Holes (2003), based on the novel of the same name by Louis Sachar. In 2004, he made his directorial debut with the short film Let's Love Hate and later directed and shot the music video for "I Never Knew You" by rapper Cage.

In 2007, LaBeouf starred as the lead in the commercially successful films, Disturbia, Transformers and Surf's Up. His other films include Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008),Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009), Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010), and Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), followed by Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac."
