Lobby Night with Benny Jets and guest

  • 7:00 pm - 12:00 am | Friday July 12, 2024
  • The Lobby | Ace Hotel Brooklyn

Meet Brittney Caranza aka Benny Jets– a talented DJ and musician from LA who brings an in-depth understanding of music and life to the dance floor. Tonight, Benny Jets brings along friend Tenosh to play along.

Tenosh is a vinyl collector and DJ. For over eighteen years he has specialized in collecting music from the late 50s to mid 80’s from Latin America, Jamaica, Africa and the US during decades of political and social unrest. He is a part of an international niche community of vinyl collectors and has performed across Latin America, Europe, Asia, and domestically in the US. Joshua is active in the collective Noche Romántica and is spearheading a new Brooklyn-based project Descontrol.

 

Brittney has carved space in the community as a self-taught, musical entertainer since her early teen years. Growing up, she was surrounded by a rich tapestry of cultures, sounds, and rhythms that have influenced her style and musical taste; owed marginally in part to her dad (Ruben “Valentino” Carranza – 80’s Teddy Boys crew), his brother, and their dad who also were once prominent DJs in LA as well as Jalisco, Mexico, where they originally immigrated from. Djing runs in her blood through multiple generations and because of her family and the music scenes she continues to help cultivate and grow in both Long Beach and Los Angeles, she plays well-steeped selection of music intuitively from the heart.

As a sound selector, she specializes in music derived from her Mexican roots but she also continues to dig through all genres and time periods, especially if it’s deep-cut international Soul, Psych, Garage, Disco, Boogie, Reggae, and Funk from the 60’s and 70’s. It’s also worth noting Neo-soul, 90’s/00’s R&B, Hip Hop, Jazz, and Electronic Beats will always hold a special place in her heart. Her taste is truly limitless- good Music is just Good music no matter what genre. You can find Ms. Brittney at any notable venue or club in the LA county on a weekly basis DJing or playing live with her band Healing Gems- a Psychedelic/Tropical/Exotica band who are also based in LA as well.

Ace Artist in Residence & Byline present -- Tomorrow's Garden by Caroline Zimbalist at Gallery

With this seminal exhibition, Tomorrow’s Garden, we glimpse through a keyhole. Behind the door is an imagined, futuristic world where the overuse of plastic melted into nature and created new species of bioplastic lifeforms. An enchanted oyster lies in the ocean with aquatic creatures and flora. A hanging abstract, bioplastic jellyfish illuminates an underwater world, a forest where hybrid amphibians and fairies tend to the changed planet. Caroline questions what the future can look like in a world where nature…

Ace Artist in Residence with Lina Sun Park at A!R

Meet our new resident artist, Lina Sun Park. Combining textiles with items of personal significance and perishables, her work balances the quotidian and the fantastical to otherworldly effect.

Join us for the opening event on December 11th, 7-9pm. The exhibition will be on view December 2024–February 2025.  About…
