Artists Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe opened their Black Acid Co-op exhibition at Deitch Projects in NYC last Thursday night. With a take on their previous series of Hello Meth Lab in the Sun; and the slightly modified version; Hello Meth Lab With A View, Black Acid Co-op made it’s New York debut of the original work with some additional touches. Side rooms of an upper-class salon and a burnt meth-lab kitchen complete with melted Walkmans contain cassettes, one of which is a Christian record called ‘Life on the Planet is Fun’ by one Charley Thweatt and a VHS tape of Richard Simmons’s ‘Disco Sweat’ lies discarded on the counter, covered with plaster dust. The level of detail making this exhibition it’s all. An inside look at a societies illicit habits and their occupying rooms. The exhibition is running through to August 15th at 18 Wooster Street, New York.
