Slowly but Surely

Some shows simply hang themselves. The placement of works can be so clear that any variation would seem less like an alternate option and more just plain wrong. This show, however, has been a trickster. We must have traded the works around 5 or 6 times and switched out entire pieces at least 3 times before we settled on this layout. Getting the works straight is even more tricky since the photos are on untrimmed paper. There's not a straight edge to be found, so we just have to eyeball the things. It seems as though everyday we spot a new piece that needs to come up just a hair on the left side. I think we're ready to put away the tools today, though.
