Ace Hotel A!R Opening Performance | Qwenga

Ace Hotel & Swim Club has partnered with No)one. Art House to co-curate a lineup of artists led by Chris Emile for Ace Hotel A!R Program. We are happy to welcome our second Artist is Residence, Qwenga.

Drawing inspiration from the mystifying monolith in “2001: A Space Odyssey,” Qwenga’s current project, “Monolith,” delves into the powerful allure of these towering structures and their capacity to ignite introspection and evolution.

Catch his performance of Monolith on November 2.

Ace Hotel A!R Program is the embodiment of our deep conviction that artists deliver us a critical lens through which to understand the world and ourselves. On a quarterly basis, and curated in partnership with creative
collectives and art institutions that inspire us, we invite artists across the globe to turn one of our hotel rooms into their studio for a month. Given time and space to create, the artist’s resultant body of work is then exhibited at Ace and shared with the public.
