Notes
Stacked
While there's not too much art on the walls at the moment, behind closed doors (arrgh!) there's been plenty of artworks being shifted about for all manner of reasons (repair work, impending nearby demolitions etc.).
Notes
White-out
The care of artworks is of the utmost importance here at Christchurch Art Gallery, so it's a strange feeling to 'destroy' an artwork.
Notes
Extraction complete
It seems quite some time ago now – almost two years actually – since we were in the planning stages of the Andrew Drummond exhibition Observation, Action, Reflection.
Notes
Trans Tasman
In 2008 I was employed as an Art and Object Handler at the National Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory, in Greenwich, London. About halfway through my year working there I was sent on a course which focussed on the safe handling and movement of oversized, heavy sculptures. The course involved workshops, lectures, and a very interesting array of people from galleries and museums throughout the UK, and was held at West Dean College, which stretches over 10kms along the Sussex South Downs and Lavant Valley in Chichester, South East England.
