The idea behind installing artwork is that we are displaying artworks in the manner in which ensures the work is safe and secure at all times, in the manner in which the artist intended, without drawing attention to how it is installed.

In this one day session we will examine the fundamentals of how an artwork or object is installed safely and securely in a space by examining the:

- Different artistic mediums and the appropriate hardware to use to install them

- Different surfaces on which art or objects are installed eg. types of walls, plinths, etc.

- Different arrangements of displaying artworks, such as hanging multiple 2d artworks and the use of exhibition furniture such as plinths.

- Equipment which can be used for installation

- Method statements and installation guides

You will practise adding fixings to various different types of 2D artworks and installing them on a wall using different types of artwork hanging fixings with different wall fixings.

Art Technical work is predominately physical in its nature therefore if you have physical constraints which mean you struggle with physical activities please discuss this with the course leaders prior to booking to ensure we can accommodate you.
