Presentation of work

I went to a few exhibitions and galleries and looked how they mounted and framed work. That is a few examples:

There are so many different ways to hang and display the images.  There isn't a wrong or right answer how to do it. "My advice would be not to follow fashion in presentation but make decisions about scale, framing and so on that best suit your work."(John Gill, director, Brighton Photo Biennal)

For our project many things depends on the venue, if we cannot drill in the wall it means that we cannot put a big or heavy prints a up. And that helps to make a choice. Also not everything can be done in university there are some stuff that they don't have at the moment, but might get in the future. For example, I really like how the images in Manchester art gallery were mounted - using perspex on top of the image. However, university don't have the right materials at the moment, so I needed to choose different way to display my images in the exhibition.

I also liked the images the were mounted and they had a gap between the wall. So I decided to look in to it and try it myself.
