Crit Club is an innovative debate series that reimagines traditional art panel formats by introducing a sporting dynamic and encouraging spirited discussions. Hosted by Cem A. in collaboration with Alserkal Avenue in Dubai, this platform invites art figures to engage with provocative questions. The recent debate questioned the relevance of art fairs, showcasing contrasting rhetorical styles between panelists. The emphasis on personal narratives, body experience, and playful rules shifted the focus from conclusions to the experience itself, demonstrating the need for fresh perspectives in the art discourse.
Indeed, the combative staging belied the conviviality with which Butt and I debated.
The point of Crit Club is to pose a false binary; It's not about arriving at an answer.
