SOLD OUT
NEW INC and Ace Hotel Brooklyn present: public / private, an immersive experience by Brandon Powers with Sadah Espii Proctor. public / private steers the choreography of movement through space. With nothing but a set of headphones and each other, guests will navigate Ace Hotel Brooklyn in small groups relying only on audio as their guide.
Emerging from months of seclusion in our homes, distanced from each other, we now have to renegotiate and reimagine how we gather as bodies in physical space. Further, the dichotomy of public versus private has grown starker, shaping how we hold and move our bodies in the two contexts. A hotel offers a nuanced place to investigate these shifts as it is a convergence of the public and private.
