installing in a gallery

gallery install

If you ever have to install in a gallery, before you do anything else, make sure you have an extra set of hands to help with the installation process. My classmate Julie Burney assisted me in the installation of my work in the UTC Cress Gallery. The curator, Ruth Grover, set up the placement of the work, the angle in which it should hang, and the overall placement of the work in the gallery. She is passionate about what she does, and is great at making sure the installation process runs smoothly in the gallery. The vinyl hung beautifully with a suspension bar I purchased at Ikea. The bar is meant to hang curtains, but I made it hang vinyl, and it blended nicely with the ceiling in the gallery. Thank you to Leslie for recommending the suspension bar to hang my work.
