any ideas on how to hang foam boards on a wall without framing them or ruining them? - Page 2

How did the show go Genteel?

I hope you had a good turnout. Still waiting on some photos!!!!!!

Genteel Death · 12.20.2012, 01:56 PM

Thanks Rob. The turnout has been good from the start because if you work in the building you simply can't avoid seeing my work since it's showing in the staff bar, where people socialise with their colleagues and friends after or during work. With over 1000 staff employed by the theatre, plus guests, associates etc, it's visible to a large amount of eyes. I have sold one piece to a lady today. The guy who I am having the exhibition with has a had a major disaster, yesterday, when he was meant to put up his work on display. He collected the prints and took them to work but on the way they were ruined by the rain. It looks like he will have the entire series reprinted in the next few days and get going. It's a shame because he hasn't got a lot of money and in his case it's a chance for him to get a job in the creative department of the theatre. Good luck to him.

I'll take a few snaps of it when I get the chance.

fuck, Rain is a bitch! That shit is terrible. It is such a pain in the ass to try and circumvent any possible damage to artwork.

Genteel Death · 12.20.2012, 02:29 PM

Yes, it's a total bitch. Nature really is the harshest critic. He's a comic artist, so it's not even a case where you can perform a ''repairing job'' on abstract images in order to hide the damage. I didn't ask why he didn't make sure the prints were packed like a trooper though. I mean, I would have thought that to be an obvious precaution to take. I hope it works out well for him. While I was putting up my work on display and he did some testing with the frames on the wall we chatted about how good looking Kim Gordon looks for her age.
