Scrawl

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Thursday, September 4th
Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: Apexart (291 Church Street)
Cost: Free

"SCRAWL consists of close to 100 different handmade pronouncements collected from the streets and subways of New York City over the past 25 years. The works on exhibition range from the haragious to the habromaniacal (from scary to silly), from terse suggestions to indecipherably complex amalgams of mathematical figuring,
philosophical posturing, and political ranting... An essay by Harley Spiller, the collector and curator, illuminates the work of the 40 or so people represented in his collection, describing what's captivating about the material, and telling the tales of actual encounters with the 'artists.'"
