We started the process of hanging our work at the gallery yesterday at noon. We are sharing a space within the gallery with another show (with a large wall dividing us). Our space seemed so large (and empty) when we first met there six months ago to check out the place! Now that all five artists are bringing their completed work together, the size illusion has changed, and we seem to be crowding into a smaller space. A few photos from the hanging event (you should be able to click on each photo to enlarge):
I put all my boxes out on the floor to begin the process of grouping everything together. If you are a "gallery purist" this hanging technique would probably not be your kind of thing. To help in the sharing of our space, I think my own little wall area of assemblages is fairly cohesive, and a little "tight," but it works well for me. It was more difficult than what I thought it would be...nothing like hanging a few pieces of art on my own living rooms walls, etc. I am going back again today to tweak any of my final issues, help the other artists, and take a few more photos.
