ABOUT
The Primordial Plasma Club is an informal monthly meet up. Whilst talking about art is a big part of the club, meeting up, having a drink and chat about what you're working on, or what is on your mind is the most important element.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT/ TOPIC FOR FIRST MEETING
'Disneyland is presented as imaginary in order to make us believe the rest is real, when in fact all of Los Angeles and the America surrounding it are no longer real, but of the order of the hyperreal and of simulation. It is no longer a question of a false representation of reality (ideology), but of concealing the fact that the real is no longer real, and thus of saving the reality principle.
The Disneyland imaginary is neither true nor false: it is a deterrence machine set up in order to rejuvenate in reverse the fiction of the real.'

Simulacra and Simulations, Selected Writings p175
The first part of the evening will consist of a discussion around exhibitions that we've seen during the summer. Possible shows to discuss could include Christoph Büchel's community centre at Hauser & Wirth, Mike Nelson's I, Imposter at the British Pavillion and Paul Etienne Lincoln at South London Gallery or anything else you might want to bring to the table.
