Urban Outfitters: Displaying Work


 


 




















I measured the panelled sections to ensure my work fits properly into the required space. I calculated the distance around each piece so they are properly aligned when displayed for a neat and professional presentation.




Hanging Work
I would prefer the method of attachment to be discreet to prevent disrupting or marking the work.

Unsuitable
  • Blue tack, tape, glue dots – Too temporary
  • Frames – Expensive, would reflect shop lighting
  • Bulldog clips – Very obvious

Possibilities
  • MDF / Lightweight wooden boards – Adhere work then hang like a picture frame
  • Small nails or strong pins – Through each corner and into wall
  • Sticky fix squares – Maybe not permanent enough

Artwork Research

Claire Brewster’s hand-cut paper shapes are individually pinned to the wall like natural history specimens. Delicate and subtle form of attachment leaving her work suspended from the wall.

Autumn - Geese, 2012



From Here It All
Looks The Same, 2012







In the Cube gallery this map has been displayed with bulldog clips. These complement the piece since as if an old map has been revealed: opened out and held in place for the public to view.


Frieze, 2010























Lisa Lapinski’s collection of paper collages are displayed on wooden boards on the wall. The shabby edges create irregular rough borders to her bold prints. It seems to reinforce the pieces, keeping them flat and straight for a long period of time.
