WHAT THE CRITIQUE THE CRITIQUE CLUB (CCC) IS ABOUT: Art is the terrain through which we examine the human mind and soul. We begin from a shared understanding that art, like life, carries no fixed meaning until meaning is given. In this sense, the audience is not external to the artwork but an essential part of it. Opinions hold power. They can be destructive, and destruction can sometimes be constructive. A critique can keep an artwork alive or it can end its journey. For this reason, critique is treated here as a force, not a casual act. CCC is not a competition, a marketplace, or a hierarchy. No artist is ahead of another. Every artist has a unique trajectory, and comparison serves no purpose here. We do not target people.We examine artworks and the critiques made about them. By shifting focus away from individuals and toward language, perception, and intention, we create a space where reflection replaces attack and refinement replaces judgment. CCC is a shared learning environment. Members may participate by submitting artworks, critiques, or reflections on critique itself. Artists, critics, curators, collectors, and art lovers are all welcome. In truth, anyone engaging with art becomes a critic, as judgment is a natural function of human cognition. To prevent critique from becoming personal or harmful, CCC operates through defined roles. These roles are interchangeable and temporary. No role is permanent, and no identity is fixed. Here, we practice critique not to dominate, but to understand. Not to destroy, but to see more clearly. THE ROLES OF CCC: In CCC, roles are not identities. They are positions taken in relation to a moment, a work, or a critique. Roles shift. Roles dissolve. Roles return. BODY, KILLERS, GUARDIANS. 1. THE BODY Anything under the microscope is a BODY. A BODY can be: - an artwork - an artist - a critique - a comment - even a comment under a post can become a BODY, once their words are examined The BODY is not weak. The BODY is simply the subject of attention.Once something becomes the focus of discussion, it enters the BODY state.

Critique The Critique Club exists because most critique is lazy, cruel, or MISLEADING. Here, critique is a craft, not a weapon. We learn how to look, listen, and respond without killing the work. Artists and critics are both welcome. Egos are not. Process is sacred. This is a slow fire.
