Installing Heavy Stuff On The Gallery Walls

Destroyed Room by Jeff Wall

The gallery walls take a lot of abuse. And they're old. And they're usually just drywall with metal studs. Imagine your living room wall. Now imagine installing a different art show in your living room every week for 16 - 20 years.

If you're planning to install a shelf, a flat-screen t.v., or anything else that's heavy and unweildy and you're not exactly sure how to do it, feel free to ask me, or BETTER YET (because let's be honest I'm not the best with "putting things in walls") you can ask the CalArts Carpenter. Yes, there is a CalArts Carpenter, and he is willing and able to answer your technical questions and give you free advice on how to safely and securely install stuff. It's better to be safe than sorry, so don't be shy. Ask for help!
