Exploring Christopher Wool’s Gritty 1970s New York in a Flashback to DIY Culture
The 1970s art scene in New York City was filled with danger, excitement, and creativity. Christopher Wool’s exhibition “See Stop Run” captures some of that rebellious spirit in a noncommercial space in the financial district. The show features a variety of works by Wool, including painting, photography, drawing, prints, posters, and books. Unlike traditional gallery exhibitions, nothing in this show is for sale. Wool wanted to challenge the idea of art existing without context, and the location in a vacant office building adds a unique atmosphere to the experience. The exhibition is open to the public for free until July 31st, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in Wool’s artistic vision. This unconventional exhibition stands out in a city dominated by commercial art spaces, offering a refreshing alternative for art enthusiasts. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience Wool’s unique and boundary-pushing works in this special setting.
