‘Writers Strike’ Opens at Lott Gallery
Last night, “Writer’s Strike” opened at the Lott Gallery in Chelsea. Curated by Bombin Magazine, it’s a group show of graffiti writers, street artists, and vandals covering every surface in paintings, drawings and tags. The show asks viewers to consider a New York without these illegal works where nothing counterbalances the daily onslaught of bullshit advertising. It’s too bad not everything could be seen through the crowd, which likely featured a few from the NYPD Vandal Squad taking notes. Still the work to be seen was good and the mixture of styles made for a fun show. It was the perfect antidote to an underwhelming visit with the New Museum’s Unmonumental show earlier in the night.

“Writers Strike” is on display through February 21st at Lott Gallery at DriveIn24. 443 W. 18th St., second floor; (212) 645-2244.
