Artist trailer commune removed from Bushwick warehouse — again

A New York City artists collective that dwells in trailers has been evicted from the Bushwick warehouse where it had taken up residence, according to the New York Times. The eviction from 304 Meserole Street, which the artists say was done illegally and without notice, comes after months of trying to find a permanent home. The 25-person group had previously parked its trailers at 304 Meserole Street in December 2009, before being evicted two months later, after the Fire Department of New York deemed the space unsafe. After briefly considering a move to Chelsea, the collective moved back to the Bushwick warehouse with the building owner’s consent and has remained there for roughly a year. This latest eviction comes after the lot’s owner ordered them out, claiming that the warehouse owner didn’t have the right to allow the trailers on the overall property. [NYT]
