wanna hang at a meth lab?

Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe. BLACK ACID CO-OP

Deitch Projects on 18 Wooster st. has an interesting project by Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe called BLACK ACID CO-OP. It’ll be running until Aug. 15th. Be ready to sign a release form and experience a stuffy, burnt, messy, dirty, dark, claustrophobic, and skeevy meth-lab environment.

These guys did a good job transforming the space into a trashed trailer/abandoned 70’s ski lodge. You can go up and down stairs and get a feel of the underground meth culture… At one point, you’ll be inside a Chinese porn store, then find yourself at a beautiful museum-like room with its walls busted through. The back rooms, where the action happens, are torn up, burnt and pretty destroyed, the bathrooms are disgusting and the hallways seem dangerous to walk through. I felt like a investigator going through a freshly raided meth house. I forgot I was in the city for a second…
