10 Days and Counting…
July 10th, 2007Sometimes I wish my job description included art installation. They always have the best stories (”listen to how we craned this art work over the wall!”) or they get to figure out how to install the most challenging pieces (”how are we going to install a work that weighs as much as a Volkswagen?”) and so on.
Staff members who aren’t directly involved with the installation, are not allowed in the galleries until all the art works are installed. So I have to live vicariously through those who do get to go in the galleries and pump them for information. “Oohh how did you install that one? What does this gallery looking like now?” etc. etc. What I heard from them today was the best yet: Matisse’s Bathers with a Turtle installed across from Beckmann’s Fisherwomen. So now I’m counting down until installation is finally over…
