Loft Law: The Last of New York's Artist Lofts
Corey Ward
“Hundreds of artists in New York City have been living in industrial lofts and similar settings going back as far as the '60s as part of a loft law enacted by the city. The buildings used to be marked A.I.R. ("artist in residence") to let firefighters know that somebody lived there in case of a fire in what appeared to be an abandoned building. Joshua has been documenting these artists, their space”
Rough
“Unique view into the past but for the future.”
