<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Hi Spectres,</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">For those in the Netherlands, I'd love to share our current IMPAKT exhibition <em>Crit Club</em>, which is still open until the end of this month.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">With <em>Crit Club: Meme Debates</em>, 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.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Inspired by the spirit of sports, <em>Crit Club</em> 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.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Can we train critical thinking like we train our muscles? And can rivalry help us reflect more sharply and imaginatively on digital cultures? </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">More info & tickets: <a href="http://www.impakt.nl">www.impakt.nl</a></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Crit Club: Meme Debates</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">18 May — 29 June 2025</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Wednesday to Sunday, 12:00 - 18:00</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">IMPAKT - Lange Nieuwstraat 4, Utrecht</span><br /><br /></p>
