SSSNAKESSS: A Lunar New Year Celebration and Mahjong Tournament

Friday, January 31, 2025
7 – 11PM

Ring in the Lunar New Year with A+A+A and NEW INC! Celebrate the year of the Wood Snake, a symbol of wisdom, agility, and growth at Ace Hotel Brooklyn. A+A+A’s scenic design will transform the hotel, taking inspiration from Madame White Snake 白素貞, a Tang Dynasty Chinese Folktale telling the tragic love story between a goddess and a human.

Dong-Ping Wong will host a bracket-style Mahjong tournament—with prizes for the finalists (previous prizes have included New Museum Memberships and gifts from Jia Sung, Land to Sea, and TRUST Studios).

Experience an exhibition and performance of Hacking Grains by NEW INC member Trevor Van de Velde. Hacking Grains features an installation of custom built rice cooker synthesizers that will also be played for a short performance.

This is a free event, hosted at Ace Hotel Brooklyn and co-presented with A+A+A and NEW INC.
