As the final workshop in a series of workshops for ARCHIVES: NEXT PHASE, myself and Lex R. Thomas led a workshop focused on the messy and often overlooked logistics of installation. This workshop prepared artists for the upcoming week of installation and covered what to expect, how to prepare, and ways to troubleshoot. The workshop included demos for wiring frames, using drills and other power tools, and hanging work evenly on a gallery sightline.
