Apparently it’s only a piece of colored paper cut, folded and pasted… and indeed from many point of view it is. Once ready, however, an Hangselm can play many different roles within the home life, the social life and in several other fields (not excluding astrophysics and marine biology), and could only be so. An Hangselm is made to hang on to something or someone and hang out at all kind of places, it can hang together with those who love him or hang on hanging from the handle of the front door (if hungin the kitchen perhaps can even get the hang of cooking!)
Hangselm is a project created by Nevercrew ( www.nevercrew.com ) with the first series consisting of five elements (The Dirty Painters Series). One of the ideas of the project is, however, to involve various artists (graphic designers, painters, illustrators, etc…) and that’s why there will be other series. The second series (Not An Air Freshener) is designed to begin to expand the HANGSELM project involving, only initially and upon invitation, artists from south Switzerland. Of course it’s also opened to artists from around the World that desire to partecipate.
On Hangselm’s website www.hangselm.com it’s possible to see and download the first series and all the customized Hangselm of the second series are going to be published everytime a new one is ready.
