Floor-to-Ceiling Against the Wall: Not Hanging is Also a Way of Hanging

An artwork leaning directly against the wall. A large-format painting or framed photograph sits directly on the floor, leaning slightly back against the wall, its lower edge resting on the floor without any support. A second, smaller piece might be stacked next to it, half-obscured by the one in front. This signals a collection still in flux: it can be rehung at any time. The junction of the floor and wall thus becomes part of the display. Avoid: placing wooden blocks or display stands underneath, having the artwork stand completely upright without an angle, placing two pieces side-by-side without overlapping, or having more than two mixed hanging and leaning arrangements on the same wall.

一件直接靠在牆上的作品。大尺幅的畫或裱框的攝影直接坐在地板上,微微向後傾靠著牆,下緣壓在地坪上沒有任何支撐;旁邊可能疊著第二件較小的,一半被前面那件遮住。這是收藏還在流動的訊號:它隨時可以被換掛。地板與牆的交界因此變成陳列的一部分。避免:在下面墊木塊與展示架、讓作品完全正立沒有傾角、把兩件並排而不重疊、在同一道牆上同時做掛與靠的混合超過兩處。
