Victory Journal is a tabloid-sized quarterly magazine dedicated to the art and culture of sport. Justin Thomas Kay — a friend of ours from his days at The FADER whose artwork has graced the walls of our gallery space — is the Design Director, which has some pretty fortuitous aesthetic implications. The latest issue features an iconic photo spread of Muhammad Ali in his prime by Thomas Hoepker — part of a trilogy of features dedicated to the greatest of all time — along with a re-interpretation of Flip Schulke’s shoot of a young Cassius Clay swim-training session, shot by Chadwick Tyler, with Elsa Hosk standing in for Clay. The unsung journeymen get their day in the ring as well. A Tokyo Lunch follows Tokyo salary men surreptitiously swinging for the fences on lunch hour in the high-tech batting cages of the Jingu Batting Dome. The fourth edition of Victory Journal is now in rooms at Ace Hotel New York.

Our gallery show of instant analog photography on Ace Hotel x Impossible Project Film “24 Hours at Ace” migrated from Ace Hotel New York to The Impossible Project Space Tokyo.

The exhibit features works by friends of Ace Hotel and The Impossible Project including Andie Acosta, Chloe Aftel, Elijah Wood, Adam Goldberg, Nicole Held, Araks Yeramyan, Jeremy Kost, Anne Bowerman, Michael Nevin, Steve Olson, Dave Ortiz, Devon Turnbull, Pat Sansone and work captured by influencers in Japan curated by The Impossible Project Space Tokyo. 

If you’re lucky enough to be in the hood, it’s up until July 20. If you’re not, you can pick up some keepsake tees on our shop.

Golden is coming from Tokyo to play at Ace Hotel New York. They use a mix of unusual strings and percussion to evoke Classical Japanese music. Part sea shanty, part dark country western. This show will be very rare magic.

6-8 pm, Tuesday, 23 February, 2010. Golden is friends with Tsurumi Records.
