Setting up the Exhibition

We were paired up (katy and i worked together) and had to chose a wall to work with. All the curators than laid out all the work and had to make a decision about what went best with what. Once we had chosen the work, we had to patch up the walls with paint... this was harder than it sounds as apparently there is more than one shade of white and took longer than expected. One of the major things we found was how important it is to, as an artist, to make sure you have framed and mounted your work straight. Katy and i spent ages with a set of three photographs trying to get them level and to fit neatly on the wall before we discovered a)the weren't the same size when at fist glance they look as if they are meant to be b) they hadn't been mounted straight. In the end we did the best job we could and decided to consult the artist.
