ACE AIR: MAX TAYLOR

Program: Ace AIR Location: Ace Hotel New York Date of Stay: 03.17.19 Artist: Max Taylor

During an evening at Ace Hotel New York, artist-in-residence Max Taylor took a break from photography and drew a three-piece series of hands and flowers. He shared a bit about his process:

I try and meditate-ish to a blank mind and then capture whatever flickers of thoughts appear. It becomes  a race to trap them on paper before they dissolve like a waking dream. The fun part comes after, trying to interpret what the back of my mind was saying. I typically start with a single mark on a page and see what it builds into. Comes from a creative game I used to play with my family as a kid.  

Max Taylor is an award-winning photographer based in Brooklyn. His two favorite cities are Havana and NYC. Max likes motorcycles and scuba diving. He has mixed feelings about third person narratives.

This March, our Artists in Residence are curated by Bushwick Community Darkroom, which promotes and preserves the art of film photography in Brooklyn by directing resources to high school programs and open call opportunities for local artists. When founder Lucia Rollow graduated with her BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts, she found herself without an accessible space to print and develop film. Determined to continue the legacy of film photography, Rollow realized other artists were struggling with similar barriers. With just a handful of equipment, very little money and a dream, she opened Bushwick Community Darkroom in 2011. While simultaneously building a local network through her leadership of Bushwick Open Studios, Rollow assembled a motley team, which transformed BCD from a makeshift basement space into the bustling 3,000 square foot warehouse it is today. Almost a decade later, BCD now boasts more than 30 members, 24/7 access to darkrooms, color and black-and-white film processing, low-cost workshops and curated photography exhibitions. Members, volunteers and students work together to create a vibrant, affordable art space.

i officially have moved into my own apartment in brooklyn - it’s basically a tiny hole in the wall but i’m out here making it work! [it only looks like a landfill right now because my bedframe is lost in the mail somewhere and all of my storage is underbed] i also live really close to the bushwick community darkroom and a lot of bomb vegan food

on another note i impulsively bought a ticket to see frank iero play a show on a boat so if anyone else is going to that, see u there

ACE AIR: SHERIDAN TELFORD

Program: Ace AIR Location: Ace Hotel New York Date of Stay: 03.10.19 Artist: Sheridan Telford 

Photographer Sheridan Telford spent a recent Sunday night at Ace Hotel New York “to take a step back from the madness and slow down for a sec - drifting away from [her] day to day mindset.” She created a mixed media series titled Frames Within combining written diary entries and digitalized film collage shot on a Canon AE-1, Yashica and Polaroid 600.

Sheridan Telford is a portraiture and fine art photographer living in Brooklyn. Born in Honolulu and raised in Vancouver B.C and Hong Kong, she discovered her passion for taking photos while traveling around South East Asia on family vacations at a young age. She received a BFA in Photography from Parsons School of Design in 2014. Her work often explores ideas of femininity, nature and surrealism using mixed media of film, collage and digital practices. She loves horror films and being in nature, particularly the mountains, forests and ocean of the Pacific Northwest.

I’ve been extremely uninspired lately so it feels good to slowly get back into things. Shoutout to Bushwick Community Darkroom for helping photographers during these uncertain times

This was the first cycling film I saw as a kid. It showed bikes to be fun, full of adventure and incredibly cool. Those feelings have never left me. #Repost @nolifelikethislife ・・・ This Monday, here in Brooklyn!!! We’re hosting another No Life/Bushwick Community Darkroom movie night! Come see Nicole Kidman in one of the most iconic bmx movies of the 80’s, before she gave up her Australian accent! Bonus points if you guess which 35mm film stock this 1983 film was shot on. We’ll have some disposable cameras here for sale, and some adult beverages as well. Be there or be lame!!
