curating ..... continued

I have decided to use the first curating optioin i was thinking of. These 2 photos show the position I am hapy with. The figures withthe heads dissapearing off the canvas will still be hung higher than the others while the other 2 will be lower so that you can almost see yourself as them - a mirror.


This is the work now hung on the walls. I dilibarated with having mirror plates as this would make the work rest fully flat againt the wall but i felt the work would be better presented using nails and plaster plugs to hang it, leaving the edges free of the mirror plates. John helped me to do this and it works really well i feel. To finish the space off, we just need to do the name transfers onto the wall with the transfer sheets we went and brought from staples today. I'm also going to have the phrases next to the work.
In the first photo left to right I will name them: "Where's that Brownie?" and "There it is!"














Second photo, left to right: "What's all this?!" and "How did THAT get there?!"

curating.....continued

This is the curating i have come up with currently. it is more dispointed with the other side of the room and the painting of the thighs here will be put higher.

This painting goes opposite the other on the other wall, but i have decided against this. I think it leaves too much negative space.

Curating

This is curating on the other half of the space. I want the same affect on this side with this painting: being higher up and intimidating. I will have the 2 other paintings whos heads stay within the canvas to be lower level than the other 2, this will disjoint the space and bumf the person around the space instead of flowing easily through if they were all on the same level.

These 2 photos are 2 different curating options. I want to have the 2 paintings that have the heads off the canvas to be higher up the wall so that it gives the impressioin of it crowding over the person to be more powerful and intimidating. I am playing with different positions here to work around the piping.


These are photos of the space i am going to be in. There are a few obsticales that need to be worked around like the piping and the boxed section of the wall that takes away wall space. However if i hang the paintings well these shouldn't be negative obsticles.
