Exhibit installation
The 49 works of art will be wall hung in a straight forward manner. Each of the 49 works in the exhibition were created within the borders of 20x20 inch aluminum strainers that will be hung in chronological order. Some artists removed the linen canvas to create their contribution using the framework of the aluminum strainers, but most used the linen as the foundation of their work. The pieces are not heavy and do not require any special preparation to be installed.
The exhibition can be presented to the public, in one of two ways, depending upon budget:
1. The project will consume approximately 165 linear feet of space and could make use of an existing interior space in the museum. The 49 paintings would be hung in chronological order approximately 20 inches apart – ideally with excerpts from the artists’ essays on wall labels between the paintings.
2. Alternatively, the exhibit could be viewed in a circular structure. Architect Christoph Kapeller, best known for his work on Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the Library in Alexandria Egypt, has done preliminary drawings of an installation structure for the exhibition. We would like to work with the Venue to make this option a reality by securing sponsors to underwrite the cost of construction.
Shipping
Because the 49 works that make up the exhibition are relatively small and housed in Los Angeles, shipping expenses should be quite manageable.
