Hang 'Um

5 and Half Hours
Today i got to learn how to hang up pieces for a gallery show. For this show the pieces are hung according to a central point. I had to measure the piece, divid it in half, then measure from the piece being hung to the top of the piece, then subtract that from the divided half. From that out come i would then add 56 inches. Then measure the outcome from the floor to the hanging spot. I got to learn a few different ways of how to hang pieces according to each one's needs. Hanging pieces and making sure they are level is very time consuming and exhausting. It was good experience and i am happy i got to have it before the end of my Internship.
I also got to hang my own piece, so that was exciting. (Even though the piece it's self isn't worth representing me as an artist.. but hey my other projects for this show didn't end up working out. C'est La Vie).
