It took two weeks for them to put the cords to support the images in the room. The rest of them that is. I could only get about half up.
In fact if it wasn't done by tomorrow I'd have removed the whole set.

Two weeks? That was half your show time, wasn't it? Glad everything is in place now.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was getting just a bit annoying.
DeleteYah, that does seem like a long time. You've had your work up here before, haven't you? Did the support come down after that or are you in a different room? I'm glad that you got it all up anyhow. I really like the look of that room! It's a great showcase for your photos.
ReplyDeleteNo. It's an old building that they renovated, or brought back to live from just the edge of collapse. But it means the overseeing body (OPW) has a odd vision. The hanging system is a series of plastic lines like heavy fishing line, suspended off a rail on the ceiling out from the wall. So, you hang something on the lines and they twist and turn in every breath of air. Added to that only about half the lines were still in place. They weren't actively fixed to the rail above and so could drop out, and did with an athletic acclarity. All nylon has a natural twist, so left to themselves will curl like a Shirley Temple lock, then add the gimpy connection to the rail above, it was just hair pulling. Then add in their attitude. Anyway, everything is a bit better now.
