FINALS




Here are  the Final images :






These are the images I have chosen above that i am going print on matte paper as any glossy paper will not make my images raw and dark but give a magazine finish to it and don't wont that around A3 size and mount on foam board.I might of mounted on something else  like photo text or even perspex because I could written over the top of my image with red pen to highlight important evidence but due to lack of materials we have to go for foam board 


Art Handling


The objective of art handling is to move artworks from one location to another without damaging the work.Art handling is not rocket science using basic common sense can get the art safely to its destination. But obviously if the works is to be handled in a specific nature due to it being delicate more than ordinary care and attention is required. Works created in the studio need to be prepared and carefully packed for safe transportation to a gallery or museum.



Good handling is fundamental to the long-term care and preservation of a work of art. The moment the work is being moved from the studio to the gallery is the time when it is at its most vulnerable. The work might well be handled by the artist themselves or by a transporter. In both cases it is best that basic principles need to be addressed like if the work has weakness then plan your moves in advance. When moving art out of a building make sure that doors or windows are wider enough or big enough if not then how are you going to get your work in?  If the work is large consider making it in parts that can be easily disassembled and assembled. 


When preparing a work for transport it is wise to write out a condition report before packing the work. Damages and repairs can be noted, and when the work is returned to you any further damages can be seen.
Most condition reports follow a similar format containing detailed artwork information first – name of artist, artwork, materials, size, date; the travel information, destination, duration of exhibit – followed by a description of the object in question. 

Make sure you have answered ll of this general question as if any these go wrong then you will have an answer and a plan B 



  • Has the work been shown in a similar environment before (hours of operation etc)?
  • Has any of the equipment been modified by the artist?
  • Is any of the equipment no longer easily available?
  • Are any of the components sculptural objects requiring different skills in the crew?
  • Do any components require the wearing of gloves?
  • What is most likely to go wrong?

 I have answered these questions myself so if anything does go wrong I know what do next.

  • Has the work been shown in a similar environment before (hours of operation etc)? -No it hasn't but due to the size of the work it shouldn't be problem
  • Has any of the equipment been modified by the artist? there is few extra decortication but nothing to cause problems  
  • Is any of the equipment no longer easily available? no i have everything ready for the event at home with myself. 
  • Are any of the components sculptural objects requiring different skills in the crew? - no my work is fine for me to handle nothing sculptural.
  • Do any components require the wearing of gloves?- no the images are not that delicate so should be fine and the audience is not allowed to touch them 
  • What is most likely to go wrong?- the images and the decoration don't work and the audience dont get it but hopefully with explanation they will
