Hi Spectres,For those in the Netherlands, I'd love to share our current IMPAKT exhibition _Crit Club_, which is still open until the end of this month.
With _Crit Club: Meme Debates_, IMPAKT transforms into an arena for debates on art, memes, and the structures that shape them. Conceived by Cem A.--the artist behind the Instagram meme account freeze_magazine--the exhibition uses competition, role-play, and improvisation to disrupt conventional forms of debate and enable unexpected clashes.
Inspired by the spirit of sports, _Crit Club_ values rhetorical agility over physical strength. Staged as a multi-channel video installation, these debates tackle memes, institutions, and politics. Visitors can watch from the tribune and dive deeper through post-match interviews and a rhetorical analysis.
Can we train critical thinking like we train our muscles? And can rivalry help us reflect more sharply and imaginatively on digital cultures?
