Installations

Space Arrangers provide expertise on a wide range of art and gallery exhibits needing customised solutions. Installations cover a wide range of display projects that don’t fit into the more common ‘gallery’ and ‘showcase’ categories. The two main considerations for installations are placement and mounting. Placement considers the practical and aesthetic implications for positioning an installation. Mounting refers to how the display will be presented and secured.

Picture Hanging

Space Arrangers are experienced picture hangers in both gallery and domestic situations. We arrange and group collections of images within their space, considering subject matter and aesthetic harmony, and taking interior design into account.
