Everything you know about art galleries is obsolete...

LOL - that looks like my late friend Mark Freeland's display at the Albright Knox Art Gallery in 2005. He had an entire room to himself and filled it to the brim - with banks of 12x12 art on plywood (each with a shiny gold sticker proclaiming "100% ART!") and one display of these plywood panels were clipped onto coat hangers and arranged on a circular clothing rack - he even found a large "blue light" for the middle of that display.

Another idea was to place yet more of these LP size paintings into record bins.

I'll see if I can find some photos...
 
It does work, Mar. You must have been the person
who started that thread several months ago about
the wall of 12 x 12's. Seeing it here I remember the
picture of it from before.

moreso, this is an interesting topic.

Makes me think the phrase, 'The Commodification of Everything'.

It also brings to mind the discussion that can be had about
what is art, and what are just decorative images. And whether
and to what degree that distinction matters.
 
Framar - I LOVE your photos! The "Art Chunks in Heavy Syrup" is IT!
 
One of the gallery guards commented that every day he was assigned to guard Mark's exhibit he felt himself getting younger and younger.
