CULTUREfix and Dijital Fix Opening at 9 Clinton Street

Posted on: June 16th, 2010 by

The nascent sub-level gallery-slash-wine bar space at 9 Clinton Street, CULTUREfix, is bringing along Brooklyn-based Dijital Fix as its upstairs neighbor.  Both venues are in soft open mode, and are currently gearing up for an official launch on Friday.

The inaugural installation to open the space is SOLSTICE: Rebirth of Summer- A Hipstamatic Exhibition.  More on the event:

We will exhibit over 100 prints made from the Hipstamatic iPhone app in the gallery curated by Savannah Spirit.

SOLSTICE: Rebirth of Summer is just 1 of the many contests by Hipstamatic which will be held every month online and will also kick off their traveling shows exclusively @ CULTUREfix for the next 6 months before it moves on to a new city. For this particular show there will be 1 grand prize winner to receive a plethora of prizes from DIJITAL FIX chosen by 4 judges at the show

9 Clinton Street is the second location for Dijital Fix, which already has a four-year foothold in Williamsburg at the corner of Bedford and North 5th.  Together, the CULTUREfix-Dijital Fix partnership is a unique concept that blends electronics store geekery with a full gallery bar and snackery.  The multifunctional space also plans to serve up light tapas-style food.

The folks behind both enterprises have been meticulously sharing pictures of the space on their Facebook page.  Here are some selections:

    Back in 1991, this store had the best Dime bags of Green in the Lower East Side…. And of course before that in the 80′s, this was a notorious Heroin spot. “RoadRunner” was the name on the bags.

        I agree and I’m with that! Didnt like it when RoadRunner was there in the 80′s but I didnt mind the Green Dime’s in 91 either. But of course I’m all for change, especially positive one’s but I get a lil sentimental sometimes. I guess its because I was born & raised in the Lower. I’m sure everyone feels the same way about theyre own areas where they were raised. I hate to see some things go. :(
