Ace Hotel

A tour of Chris Rubino’s studio in Brooklyn from Love Kills Demons, a twelve-part film portrait by Jim Helton. Chris is an Ace NYC artist — he was there right at the start making huge canvases for some rooms that still count among our favorites. He is a an artist with a sacred air about him — at once passionate and cynical about beauty, he is pretty beautiful himself. You can see more about him from the early days of our blog.


Jessica Hische is among the Young Guns chosen by our friends at the Art Directors Club every year. Jessica’s obviously a total badass. A bunch of their Young Guns have created art at Ace Hotel New York, including Dora & Maja, Mike Perry, Tim Goodman, Chris Rubino, Damien Correll, Garrett Morin, Josh Cochran and Alex Kirzhner.

ADC is hosting their first big Young Guns party of the season tonight, to celebrate their call for entries to ADC Young Guns 9. Bloodwrestling, live music and who knows what else will shake down. The party is 20 bucks (free to members and past winners), at the ADC gallery, 106 West 29th Street in NYC, from 7 to 11pm. See more info here.
