The Culture Club

The Culture Club The Culture Club is a site for the producers of critical culture to meet face-to-face, to share experiences, to exchange views, ideas and resources.

We want to promote the types of associations and exchanges that define a community of critical producers. In New York, there once was a vibrant artists’ bar culture—these places such as Cedar Bar, Ninth Circle, Max's Kansas City, and The Liquor Store Bar were where artists, writers, critics, curators, musicians, dancers, etc. met to talk shop, argue politics and trade gossip. Though these bars wer

e public spaces and open to all, their patrons represented a somewhat exclusive club of the producers of critical culture. Critical Practices Inc. (CPI) believes that such physical sites are necessary to advance and sustain critical, theoretical, and artistic practices. To address this situation, CPI is launching The Culture Club, with the objective of creating a site for the producers of critical culture to meet face-to-face; share experiences; and exchange views, ideas, and resources while talking shop not market or real estate. CPI sees this initiative as putting into practice our mission of building new models and platforms "beside” existing ones by which to promote the types of associations and exchanges that define a community of critical producers. CPI was founded in 2010, incorporated in 2012 and received its 501C3 in 2014. Our mission is to serve a diverse community of producers by creating a dynamic network that will facilitate in the shaping of critical discourse and practice.

The title of this exhibition, Galacticonexus—a neologism that fuses “galactic” and “nexus”—is itself highly revealing, as it draws upon the language of speculative fiction and conjures images of the architecture of cosmic interconnectivity. The analogy is apt, since the show consists of ...
