Apart
from the the chance to participate in occasional walkabouts to the
artists studios and visits to other such open house events, the
general public hardly ever gets a chance to view and acquaint
themselves with the works of many an artist living and working in
Mönchengladbach and environs. Consequently, their work is hardly
known beyond the local region. To help remedy this situation, the
Museum Society (Museumsverein) offers the public a chance to
discover for themselves the artists and their works in the course
of casual dialogue at get-togethers held at intermittent intervals
*in the artist’s studios. Participants are given the opportunity
and are encouraged to conclude these get-togethers with a change
of venue with a post-get-together drink or dinner. Partcicipants
are requested to organise transport themselves – car-pools are
recommended. Admission-free
Artist
Klaus Schnocks-Meusen (born 1954), resident of Neersen,
Germany, overlays in his works various widely divergent
spatially and temporally disparate levels of reality to
create a dense compositional texture of exceeding depth
and intricacy. In this manner, visions are created that
relate to each other in ways beyond the conventional
standpoint of space-time relationships, melding
disparate perspectives into one complex manifold. In
allusion to Philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer’s
conception of Hermeneutics, Schnocks-Meusen designates
these processes as "Horizontverschmelzungen"
– the fusion of horizons.
