Centotto on Clubhouse

Description

Centotto on Clubhouse is a locus for casually critical, always interdisciplinary discussions on art, books, film and music, among other things. Hosted by Paul D’Agostino, these gatherings are intended to invoke some sense of the programming that used to take place in Centotto Gallery’s physical space in Brooklyn, NYC, from spring 2008 to winter 2019.

Discussions here are typically billed as “Critical Mixtape” or “Studio In/Ex Situ” events. “Critical Mixtape” discussions feature generally informal reviews, synopses, and hot takes from people in the room on current exhibitions and recent releases, as well as on the various things we’ve just happened to be looking at, reading, watching, or listening to of late, and that have generated some thoughts we’re eager to share. “Studio In/Ex Situ” conversations are gatherings where artists, curators, writers and others can talk about current projects, developments and concerns regarding their own work, or just share news about their shows or publications.

All such events, as well as more casually themed or pop-up rooms, are amalgams of Centotto’s ‘simposio’, ‘interstizio’, and ‘ex situ’ curatorial and programming platforms. All visitors are welcome to contribute to the conversations here, by and large, and all are welcome to simply listen.
