Museum-standard art installation

Level, secure, and still right twenty years from now. Twenty years of running installation crews, brought to galleries, museums, residences, and offices across the West.

We read the wall before we touch the work.

What is behind the drywall, where the vents blow, how the afternoon light crosses the room, whether the hardware is rated well past the weight it will actually carry. That habit comes straight from institutional practice, and it is the difference between a piece that hangs and a piece that hangs safely.

I have project-managed twelve to twenty exhibitions a year and run install crews for two decades. Nothing about a difficult hang is unfamiliar.

Site survey, wall assessment, and a hanging plan to scale
Engineered cleats, security fittings, and seismic hardware
Salon walls and multi-panel grids laid out before the first hole
Sculpture mounting, pedestals, vitrines, and ceiling suspension
Heavy mirrors, large-format works, and stairwell installations
De-installation, exhibition changeovers, and travel prep

Who we install for

Galleries and museums working to an opening date, designers and architects handing over a finished room, corporate offices and hospitality projects, and private collectors who want the work placed as carefully as it was chosen.

For institutions, we work to the standards your registrar sets, including their condition-reporting and paperwork requirements. For private clients, we bring those same standards whether or not anyone asks for them.

Questions we get asked

What is museum-standard art installation?

It means the hardware, the wall assessment, and the documentation all meet the standard institutions require: load-rated fittings chosen for the specific object and wall type, a hanging plan drawn to scale before anything is drilled, and documentation of the work as installed.

Can you hang very heavy or oversized work?

Yes. Heavy mirrors, large-format canvases, multi-panel grids, and suspended or floor-mounted sculpture are routine. We survey the wall or ceiling first and specify engineered hardware rated well beyond the actual load.

Do you do exhibition changeovers on a deadline?

Yes — de-install, patch, re-hang, and re-label between shows. Turnarounds on an opening schedule are what twenty years of exhibition work was made of.

Do you handle installation and de-installation?

Both — survey, rigging, hanging, and mounting, and de-install when a show or a room changes, each finished with a walk-through and sign-off.
