Hang-Up Meets Joe Webb
15 Apr 2021
Hang-Up Gallery Our first memory of you was having a few during and after the London Art Fair in 2014, to which you successfully slid down the whole length of the longest underground escalator in London. What's your first memory of Hang-Up?
Joe Webb Oops, I think I had a painful landing at the end of that escalator. Earliest memory? I think
Carla visiting my studio, which is basically in a field in rural Sussex... I could hear her thinking 'Where the f*ck is this place?'HU Can you remember the first piece of artwork you made that solidified
your path as an artist? What was it?
JW 'Antares & Love II', which won me the opportunity to exhibit in the Saatchi. Once that happened
I thought 'I'd better go for this art lark now, it's now or never!'Antares and Love II | Sold out edition
HU You'll be creating some new and unseen works for Hang-Ten to which we're very excited about. Can you give us a sneaky insight into what you're working on for the show?

HU You're very passionate and accomplished in what you do, along with being extremely fun to be around – which are some of the best things about working with you. What’s the best thing about working with Hang-Up?

HU There are ten artists displaying in Hang-Ten - all very different in techniques and concepts. If you could collaborate with one artist in the show, who would it be and why?
HU The last ten years of Hang-Up have been filled with plenty
of peaks (and a few troughs that we can now laugh at...!) What's the last ten years been like for Joe Webb? Can you name a few key moments?
JW Just building up a career from the humble beginnings of making political collages in between my (then)
day job, to getting a solo show with you guys and exhibiting work at the Saatchi. To do this full time now blows my mind!Joe Webb's solo show 'Pulp Fiction' at Hang-Up Gallery in 2013

HU We know this question can sometimes be a cringe for artists,
but we're putting together a Hang-Ten playlist and would like your input. What three songs would you like to add?
JW
I hope you like jazz? Lots of people don't, but they're wrong ;-) I find it inspiring music to work
to.
Equinox by John Coltrane, Milestones by Miles Davis and
Regiment by Brian Eno.
HU We certainly have a few goals for the next few years - one includes world domination. What's the
goal for the next 10 years?
