Currently in residence March 2025: Peter Waples Crowe

"Under the colonial sky: Ace it! Series reflects my residency at the ace hotel and my love of the much misunderstood native dog the dingo. Mostly seen as a pest in the colony, in this series they proudly inhabit the urban environment. A reflection of self, of Country, of queerness and a thriving spirit".

Peter Waples-Crowe is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the intersection of an Indigenous queer identity, spirituality and Australia‚ Äôs ongoing colonisation. Influenced by his adoption and a later reconnection to his Ngarigo heritage, Peter’s art comments on the world as a contested site for his multiple identities. Referencing many disparate ideas and themes, his work is autoethnographic by nature, and largely based on personal experiences.

Exhibition opening: Tuesday, 25 March, 6 pm-8 pm

Location: Ace Hotel Sydney 47-53 Wentworth Ave, Sydney, NSW, 2000.

Accessible Entry via Foy Lane.

ACE HOTEL 2024/2025 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM

In partnership with Ace Hotel Sydney The Substation presents Shan Turner Carroll, Luke George, Peter Waples Crowe, and Amy Claire Mills for the 2024 - 2025 Ace Hotel Artists in Residence (AIR) program.

Curators for the coming year include Byline, Friends with Benefits (FWB) in partnership with Superchief Gallery, Powerhouse Arts, Commune Gallery and The Substation

(New York, NY - August 7, 2024) This summer, Ace will welcome a new set of artists and curatorial partners to participate in the 2024/2025 AIR program at its hotels internationally. Having hosted close to 400 artists over the past decade, the Ace AIR program continues to provide both emerging and established artists space to create and exhibit new works. In the past year, Ace has proudly been a momentary home to a diverse array of artists who have produced an eclectic mix of work — dance and movement performances in Palm Springs, ceramic and wax sculptures in Brooklyn, fashion shows in New Orleans and original textiles created in Toronto.

This year’s program will continue to support the rich tradition of artistic innovation and expression across a range of mediums, with the new slate of residencies commencing in August and running on a quarterly basis. Each participating artist selected by Ace and their curatorial partners will complete a month-long working stay at an Ace Hotel, culminating in an exhibition of their new works. For the 2024/2025 program, Ace’s curatorial partners include Byline in Brooklyn; commune Gallery in Kyoto; Powerhouse Arts in New York; The Substation in Sydney; and FWB in partnership with Superchief Gallery in Palm Springs. Working in tandem with Ace, these like-minded partners will co-curate the participating artists and exhibitions at each property.

Two curatorial partners will be running an open call for one residency slot during their year of curation. Byline (Ace Hotel Brooklyn) and FWB (Ace Hotel Palm Springs) will share details on how to apply via their respective platforms.
