Her work pushes against traditional boundaries: her paintings have resisted not just frames\, but seemingly gravity; her abstract compositions have gone beyond the canvas to embrace the aural. Most recently\, Yankowitz has deepened her interest in technology and new media to create immersive environments that spotlight women-centered histories that have gone unknown for far too long. \nNina Yankowitz was born and raised in New Jersey and lives between New York City and Sag Harbor. Her works are in public collections\, including the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco\, San Francisco\, CA; Virginia Museum of History & Culture\, Richmond\, VA; and the Smith College Museum of Art\, Northampton\, MA. Her archival materials are found in the Archives of American Art\, Smithsonian Institution\, Washington\, D.C. Her 2022 solo exhibition at Eric Firestone Gallery garnered reviews in Artforum and Art in America\, and in 2024 she was inducted into the New York Foundation for the Arts’ Hall of Fame. \nABOUT BRIAN SCHANCK \n \nBrian Schanck brings over two decades of musical experience to the turntables as an all-vinyl DJ. A lifelong bassist who has performed with various bands over the past 20+ years and currently plays with Soft Cuff\, Brian has been curating his record collection since his teenage years\, developing a deep appreciation for the art of vinyl. \nWhat sets Brian apart is his exceptional ability to read a room and craft the perfect sonic journey for any crowd. Drawing from an extensive collection that spans funk\, soul\, disco\, psych rock\, hip-hop\, indie\, jazz\, and beyond\, he creates memorable experiences that connect with audiences on a visceral level. His musician’s ear combined with years of live performance experience allows him to seamlessly blend genres and eras\, ensuring every set tells a unique story. \nWhether setting the mood for an intimate gathering or keeping the dance floor moving at a packed venue\, Brian’s passion for vinyl and intuitive understanding of crowd dynamics make him a sought-after selector who delivers unforgettable musical experiences. \nABOUT JUSTIN DEPTH \n \nJustin Myers is a Tampa-based producer and DJ who has been creating and\nperforming under the moniker Justin Depth since 2012. Through a dynamic blend of\nsampled tapes\, breaks\, layered synthesizers\, and sequenced drums\, Justin Depth crafts\nimmersive sonic environments that evolve with each track. Their work spans a wide\nspectrum of electronic genres\, including IDM\, ambient\, drone\, techno\, broken-beat\,\ndowntempo\, house\, and beyond. Myers is also a member of local music projects Alien\nHouse and Diamond Man\, and serves as a co-founder of the Tampa-based record label Image Research Records. \nABOUT JUBILEE \n \nJune Morning\, aka jubilee\, is a party organizer\, musical host\, and dance devotee based between Tampa and Connecticut. Leaving no stone unturned in her unending exploration of our collective musical heritage\, June lovingly weaves together rhythmic\, uplifting sounds across the dance music spectrum and beyond. Dedicated to contributing to the tradition of the dance party as a sacred ritual and a conduit for freedom of expression and collective transformation\, she looks to the ethos of David Mancuso’s Loft party as a continual lodestar. \n\nImages: \nBrian Schanck image by Shadow. \n
