ELEANOR CAYRE, THE STATION&#8217;S originator\/director\/producer wrote to tell us that it took JUSTIN LOWE and JONAH FREEMAN, and a couple of friends, about 3 weeks to install &#8216;Hello Meth Lab with a view&#8217; &#8211; and that they are even now engrossed in the detailed process of &#8216;de-installing&#8217; it &#8211; so it can be re-incarnated at Deitch Projects this summer. The project is supposedly going to re-surface with a new twist in the name.  Word on the street is DEITCH is giving the boys a nice budget to work with, and 5,000 sq. ft. to go wild in &#8211;   so the next &#8216;Meth Lab&#8217;, in NYC &#8211; should be a big blow-out as well. <\/p>\n<p>The first &#8216;Meth Lab&#8217; was called &#8216;Hello Meth Lab in the sun&#8217; and was exhibited at BALLROOM MARFA, in Texas. ALEXANDRE SINGH was part of that project, but he has since dropped out, to pursue his own projects. <\/p>\n<p>see: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ballroommarfa.org\/\">HELLO METH LAB IN THE SUN\/BALLROOM MARFA\/APRIL 5 &#8211; AUGUST 3, 2008 !!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>luckily for us, JONAH FREEMAN, just sent us a whole bunch of his personal,  WONDERFUL pix, of THE STATION\/MIAMI 2008 &#8211;  &#8216;Hello Meth Lab with a view&#8217; &#8211; !!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/meth_lab___1.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" alt=\"meth lab # 1\" class=\"centered\" \/><br \/>\nthe approach. it was a narrative of a hidden Meth lab &#8211; located behind a seemingly conservative gallery exhibit. lots of metaphors, there !!<br \/>\nJUSTIN LOWE, JONAH FREEMAN, &#8216;Hello Meth Lab with a view&#8217;, THE STATION\/MIAMI,<br \/>\nDEC 2 &#8211; 7, 2008.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/meth_lab___3.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" alt=\"meth # 3\" class=\"centered\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/meth_lab___4.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Meth # 4\" class=\"centered\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/meth_lab___5.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" alt=\"Meth # 5\" class=\"centered\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/meth_lab___6.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Meth # 6\" class=\"centered\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/meth_lab___7.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" alt=\"Meth # 7\" class=\"centered\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/meth_lab___2.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Meth # 2\" class=\"centered\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/meth_lab____8.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" alt=\"Meth # 8\" class=\"centered\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/meth_lab___9.jpg\" width=\"301\" height=\"450\" alt=\"Meth # 9\" class=\"centered\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/meth_lab___10.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" alt=\"Meth # 10\" class=\"centered\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/meth_lab___11.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" alt=\"Meth # 11\" class=\"centered\" \/><\/p>\n<p>ALL PHOTOS BY JONAH FREEMAN.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestationmiami.org\/pages.php?content=statement.php&#038;navGallID=Statement\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/station_logo__06.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"183\" alt=\"ts logo\" class=\"centered\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JUSTIN LOWE &#038; JONAH FREEMAN&#8217;S huge, detailed, allegorical ?
