UPDATED -Club Hang Up - Exhibition Invitation by Artist, by Jenifferg on May 14, 2018 20:53:11 GMT 1, Club Hang Up: Five exhibitions
London Private Show  /25th May London at Truman Brewery


Simultaneously raw and amiable.



Club Hang Up: Five exhibitions, each containing exactly the same collection of works by Crail Moansburg.



Handmade in The Hague, Holland, the works are layered with different materials. Even the packaging is part of the story that Moansberg craves to share. I consider his work cryptic, but he says the philosophy is ‘plain to see’.



Moansburg lives like a hermit and devotes himself solely to his art. He goes weeks without engaging in any dialogue whatsoever. His work diverts his life from clashing with his private reality. It saves his life. It is a chronic insanity of the sane.



His links to the outside world remain enigmatic and intangible. He sought a muse to anchor a new truth. He began a search for contemporary incarnations of Mata Hari and Anita Berber, using a photo of the latter to prove that the former was his mother. Truth or illusion? Cryptic or insane?



He had to establish the existence of his muse. He has to paint her. A dream or a compulsion? It is all about survival.



Living in solitude enables Moansburg to look at the world as a disconnected object. According to the artist, 'the earth is less trustworthy than the soul’. It pains him to see how life is wasted in arrogance and ignorance. He knows his soul is an illusion, but one he treasures nonetheless.

Moansburg calls this conflict of these approaching illusions ‘Club Hang Up’ based on the sparse description below:



club

klʌb/

noun

noun: club; an association dedicated to a particular interest or activity.

British

combine with others so as to collect a sum of money for a particular purpose.



hang-up

(hăng′ŭp′)

n. Informal

1. A psychological or emotional difficulty or inhibition.

2. An obstacle to smooth progress or development.



He painted his own microcosm five times, for the audience to contemplate their craving.



His life is a sacrificial offering to art. He does not pretend to be an inspired artist, to pose as anything would be way off his mark. He works to escape ‘hanging around’ the black hole that he has come to know as his core
