Has anybody been to the Whitney Biennial and seen the work of Vera Lutter? She presents two giant pinhole negative images.
I'd be curious to hear about your reaction. But I'm also interested in a very down-to-earth aspect of her presentation. How does she hang her work? Since she presents paper negatives which are single copy, I assume that she has ruled out anything that will alter the print (e.g. lamination). Is it presented behind Plexiglas? I'm interested in this particular issue because I'm exploring alternative ways of presenting the giant Wyndham Hotel pinhole image my group and I did on April 28. We've ruled out anything that could alter the integrity of the print such as lamination. Plexi is too expensive, unless we can find a grant, and we also want to have something that can travel easily and be assembled/disassembled easily. We're currently exploring using a fairly simple aluminium structure. Vera Lutter has obviously run into the same questions and I'm curious to find out what her solution has been. Cheers, Guy
