Exhibition Setup & Display

Exhibition setup is the install of a show: works in order, spacing even, and the display ready for the opening. It is for pop-ups and short UK exhibitions, not print production. Send the work count, the dates, and the postcode on the quote form, or WhatsApp the same details.

Exhibition Setup & Display

Who it is for

It is for pop-up shows, student showcases, and short commercial exhibitions. It is not curation for a fee and it is not print production.

How the work varies

Wall sequence

Works hung in the order the show needs, not in the order they came out of the boxes.

Mixed media

Frames plus a small number of objects on shelves or plinths you supply.

Strike

A separate quoted visit to take the show down and make good only the holes we made.

Included, and what we do not do

  • A layout walk before hanging
  • Hang to the order provided
  • Level and spacing pass
  • Boxes stacked where you ask
  • We do not design the concept of the show.
  • We do not print labels.
  • We do not leave a show half-hung overnight unless the quote says the install is split.

The visit

  1. Unpack in order
  2. Mark the line
  3. Hang
  4. Adjust, then stop

How the quote is built

A show is quoted from the work count, the install window, and whether strike is included. A late-running private view is not assumed to be free extra time.

  • Hours in the window
  • Work count
  • Ladder height
  • Whether strike is the same week

When people book, and how to prepare

People book when the hang must be finished before an opening, or when volunteers have started and the line is already uneven.

Give us the order in writing. Have the walls empty of the previous show.

After opening, do not rehang a sold work’s neighbour without checking the gaps. Book strike as its own visit.

Questions on this service

Can you come back to take the show down?

Yes. Strike is quoted on its own so the install price stays clear.

Do you write the wall text?

No. We place work. You supply words.

How fast can a show be installed?

That depends on the work count and the hours in the window. The quote names the window. A late private view is not treated as free extra time.

Is exhibition install an emergency call-out?

No. Shows are planned. A same-day hang is only a simple job that is still free in the diary, and it is still quoted.
