Today is the big day, as one of our artists has his big show opening this evening. Yesterday we had spent the whole day hanging and positioning the paintings, not an easy feat.
However the formula used by another of the employees made it a lot more simpler.
For example, the width of the inside canvas minus the interior frame plus the 62 inches as the bottom limit of where all the paintings hang, regardless of the height. This formula is the basis for how all the paintings are hung in this exhibition as given as instructed by the curator. Once all the markings have been on the centre, two arbitrary marks are placed in a T shape on either side to mark where the screws are placed to hold the painting in place.
Once they have all been marked, they are ready to be drilled with guiding holes, then the screw is finally inserted about an inch out to hold the painting in place. Then we add the screws and the painting is ready to be hung.
Aside from taking the bins out running around getting all the food and drink ready for the opening night tomorrow, everything has been hung. Now the walls just need a lick of paint to cover the pencil marks and it shall be ready...
