The right way to hang your artworks

We often get confused as to how to hang artwork on our walls. Whether it should be one single big work or a cluster of small works, or which work is best for which wall also how many is too many for different walls.

The placement from the ground also plays an important part in the display of artwork. Art undoubtedly attracts attention. And there are many things that go into making a work-of-art look appealing.

The artwork itself and the material that frames them do play a role, but what also matters is how it’s hung, the position of the wall it is hung on, the negative space around it, and the décor of the entire space that surrounds it. Hanging art can sometimes dampen the joy of collecting. You want your new painting to look PERFECT, you’re having issues with your level, and the frame is much heavier than you realized. Here are some tips and tricks to help you get started.

1. Simple rule

A lot of people like hanging their wall décor pieces way higher than eye level. But there’s actually a rule to this. Most art dealers and gallery owners swear by the 60 inches rule. Measure up 60 inches from the floor and mark the spot on the wall. This spot is where the center of your décor piece should be. And if you are hanging the art piece above furniture, you will need to leave around 6-8  inches of space above it.

When hanging art above furniture like a sofa or bed, make sure the layout is about a third of the furniture’s size, as the artwork will otherwise appear odd by comparison. Again, keep it within eye level.

2. A Statement Piece

Let a large painting be the centerpiece of one of your living room walls and watch its charm unfold. An easy way to decorate a large wall space is to put up a single large piece, that can be your statement piece. It doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive. But it needs to be something you really like. You can choose an abstract painting or also go for a minimalistic black and white photograph – absolutely up to you. But, bet on art for sure for small living room wall decor.

The artwork should also relate space-wise to furniture, meaning a small work of art hanging six inches above a long couch won’t look right. However, a large work of art or multiple works would look great.

3. A Gallery Wall

Another way of decorating a bare wall is to turn it into a gallery wall. This essentially means that you’ll be using a lot of different pieces of art instead of relying on one single piece to do the job for you. When hanging multiple artworks, select a pattern to follow. It can be a simple grid that maximizes the use of lines or a more organic layout that suits your personality With any pattern, try to keep the spacing between the artworks consistent.

There are two ways of going about creating your gallery wall. You can either hang a central piece and keep adding stuff all around it, or create a plan before you begin nailing them onto the wall.

The rule of thumb is that artwork should be easily viewable, regardless of if it’s one work or multiple works hanging as a group.

'' In some ways, the Biennial illustrates the emergence of a re-framed “post-modernism” in architecture. Post-modernist thinking understood the “sign”, or symbol, as separated from its signifier, so it could be said to have (signify) multiple meanings. Concomittantly, in architecture post-modernist thought was largely manifest in manipulations of form, colour, symbolism and ornament. Much of the architecture in the Biennial builds on these interests, yet also considers them as a way to investigate space, function and public need.''

#Chicago Architecture Biennial Announces Participant List for its 5th Edition

[artistsonthelam]

Yesterday inside the James R. Thompson Center, the Chicago landmark designed by architect Helmut Jahn. 🚀 My dad remembers getting a bowl of noodles in the basement here. The soaring atrium is currently closed to the public for renovation before Google takes over, with all entrances locked except one where security guards were. This is how the convo went. Me: "I'm here to take photos of the sculpture" (see the second slide of yesterday's post) Guard: "Are you here with... uh..." Me, taking advantage of the pause: "Yep I'm here with the Chicago Architecture Biennial" (Narrator: "She was not here with the Chicago Architecture Biennial") And he let me on in. 😊 // (c) Jenny Lam 2023

Social media platforms can aid in rekindling old friendships, share our pictures and lives with family, join groups or causes, and meet new friends, Pearson, (2017). Social media is desirable,you can create a new bond or even start a relationship. it can bring a sense of connection through similar interest. it bring common interest to a variety of people, to like, share or comment. it brings a sense of belonging, emotional safety and personal investments are factors that contribute to feeling connected in the social media world. Pearson, (2017).

Homophily

 Homophily, the tendency to associate with similar others. in term basically forming connections. The concept of homophily is how smay result from social media use. Discuss some of the benefits of homophily in social media. common usually bring individual together in connection with likes or dislikes.(Pearson, 2017) Most social platform used forming connection to keep you on. you meet people based on common interest. or based of who you know, you might see common friend of friends to add. you also share some of the same ties and are able to come together and communicate more effectively. Another benefit is having the capability to meet new people.(Homophily: The urban history of an algorithm an installation for the 2019 Chicago Architecture Biennial)

Algorithm’s!!!

The way in which, you see what is what on social media platforms. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,Tik Tok, have suggested profile or people you should know. Algorithms and platforms utilize them to connect the users to like-minded profiles, to get connected. Facebook lets the user search groups, chat, and engage other like-minded people. twitter shows you connected profiles based on your likes and follows Instagram lets you post pictures and ideas, look up old friends, and find new friends, Pearson, B. (2017).

I really like the use of dimension and different heights to create a larger shape. As a structure and lattice it is very pretty to overlay multiple of different sizes.
