This image shows the exhibition of Kafou, Haiti, Art and Vodou by Pierrot Barra again at Nottingham Contemporary Gallery in 2012 to 2013.

Both of these above exhibitions combine the use of plinths to exhibit their work. The first image portrays a blank canvas painted in a vivid green which contrasts against the artwork on display. We plan to paint our plinths all in which again at different heights and sizes similar to that of the first image. The second image displays a plinth joint together on different levels in a wooden effect. This relates to our idea of the 'island' of plinths.

Suspending Work-

This Exhibition above shows The Collective by Irwin. It explores how to suspend work and in the case, people. To suspend work we can use fishing wire from one side to the other, however we have to be mindful of weight of the artwork.

Hanging Work- 

 Below is an exhibition called The dream and the promise by artist Aleksandre Mir in Nottingham Contemporary Gallery. This is a series of 30 various sized paintings all hung at different heights. It is very important at looking into the height when hanging the pieces of artwork. Mid height is the best as most people can comfortably engage with the work.
