Meeting was very productive.
We discussed presentation of works and the mural walls. I have had a number of sections printed to scale on paper to test on the walls. It is important to celebrate and work with the installation space. As such, I am keen to have the display walls covered. Each wall is 6x2.4 metres. The required coverage is approximately 6 x 3 meter drops, totalling to 32 linear meters.
Ideas
Phototex: $90 per linear meter — too expensive.
Draped printed muslin: $20 per linear meter — maybe.
Draped printed georgette: $30 per linear meter — too expensive.
Tiled 80gsm printouts: Poor quality.
Wall paper: Expensive. Glues to surface. Not suitable.
Printing on tiled substrate (ie") MDF: Need to build fake wall. Time is an issue. Once the section is complete cost will equal that of the wall paper.
Too time consuming. Difficult to install. Not cost effective.
25% strength
Tests with 25% strength print on paper is very good working with the space but not overpowering the main installation of the disks.
Background/mural serves as representational figuration of memory, thought, distance, separation. All of which are directly related to topic.
100% strength
Tests with 100% strength print on paper was not successful. The wall became central and a primary point of focus, overpowering the main works.
No.
