Install - Day 1

This was one of the galleries most challenging and rewarding installations. Thanks to the help of a creative guest curator, skilled technicians, curatorial assistants and a few frazzled installation co-ordinators the show went up without a hitch - and looks fantastic! 

Tuesday night - 15 hours to opening.














The mixed media exhibit was made up largely of works on paper - process drawings and original comics. To assist the guest curator, Allan Antliff, our newest curatorial assistant, Katie Lemmon, helped slip all the works into acid free sheets. This made the works easier to handle (as we could forgo the cotton gloves while they are protected under plastic) and became a means to adhere them to the wall.

The 4 summer curatorial assistants worked on prepping the gallery space for the installation, patching walls and painting plinths.
