Cranford Collection is a London-based contemporary art collection founded in 1999 by Muriel and Freddy Salem. Since 2005, the collection has been displayed in the form of temporary installations at a private residence located in Regent\u2019s Park.

Crash<\/em> brings together a selection of powerful works that resonate with the turbulence of our times. Albert Oehlen\u2019s stormy landscape opens the space, where abstraction and figuration intertwine to depict various states of dismantlement and disintegration. Sarah Lucas\u2019 exploded sofa, Matias Faldbakken\u2019s crushed locker, and Wade Guyton\u2019s unfolded chair are brutal assaults on the banality of everyday life. Sergej Jensen\u2019s expansive spillage evokes the chaotic energy of Christopher Wool\u2019s Rorschach-inspired silkscreen, whose dripping limbs connect to Bruce Nauman\u2019s severed heads, Maria Lassnig\u2019s headless body, and Robert Gober\u2019s detached arm. These works invoke art\u2019s ancient apotropaic function, conjuring dark forces to keep them at bay. Their power lies not only in their dark humor but also in our morbid fascination with disaster\u2014we simply can\u2019t look away.
