Artist-in-Residence | Planets In Transit Closing Reception

Join us as we celebrate the closing of Planets in Transit with an evening hosted by photographer and DJ Guarionex Rodriguez, Jr. , as the inaugural 2026 Artist-in-Residence (A!R) presented by Ace Hotel Brooklyn × Field Meridians. The night marks the debut of the exhibition’s accompanying zine alongside a limited-edition print sale by Guarionex, a conversation around the work, and a special DJ set by Kiana throughout the evening. Guests are invited to spend time with the exhibition one last time, meet the artist, purchase signed prints and the newly released publication in celebration of the Black, Brown, and queer communities and dancefloors that inspired the work. About The Artist Guarionex Rodriguez, Jr. is a Dominican-American artist based in Brooklyn, NY. His work explores diasporic unity and niche musical movements that have served in the creation of community and identity in the past and present. His artistic practice has been rooted in themes of trust and vulnerability that have provided a voice for multiple communities by holding space that reflects and connects with others. Simultaneously, his experimentation through analog techniques bring elements of abstraction to his figurative images. This manual practice heightens the intimacy of his work while additionally asking the viewer to consider how we are influenced by our surroundings.
