Working Alongside Artists
Every artist approaches framing differently.
Some seek a clean and restrained presentation, while others wish to maintain consistency with previous exhibitions or established framing styles.
We regularly assist with:
Exhibition Preparation • Framing Consistency • Glazing Selection • Oversized Framing • Transport Preparation • Installation Planning • Exhibition Deadlines • Budget Considerations
Over the years we have worked alongside artists including Leonie Sharp, Barry Ross Smith, Andrew Ross and many others throughout New Zealand.
Galleries, Museums & Exhibition Spaces
Our workshop has contributed toward projects connected with:
Sarjeant Gallery • Pataka Art + Museum • Auckland Museum • Gerald’s Gallery • Octa Gallery • Protean Gallery • Thermostat Gallery
as well as a range of independent galleries, exhibition spaces, art collectives and private collections throughout New Zealand.
Projects vary significantly in scale, from one-off significant artworks through to large exhibition collections and multi-venue installations.
Every Exhibition Is Different
Some exhibitions require consistency across dozens of artworks.
Others involve a single significant work that needs to become the focal point of a space.
Some projects prioritise conservation and long-term preservation, while others place greater emphasis on practicality, transportability, deadlines and budget.
Our role is to help find the right balance for the artwork, the artist and the exhibition itself.
Oversized & Complex Projects
Large-scale artworks often bring additional challenges involving handling, transport, glazing, installation and structural support.
Our workshop regularly assists with:
Oversized Artworks • Large Photography • Multi-Panel Works • Textile Artworks • Exhibition Installations • Large Glazing Systems • Acrylic Glazing • Transport Coordination • Installation Logistics
Many galleries and framers throughout New Zealand have referred oversized projects to our workshop where the scale or technical requirements exceed their available facilities.
Oversized framing and handling has become one of our specialist areas.
Transport, Handling & Installation
Exhibition preparation often extends well beyond framing alone.
Depending on the project requirements, we can assist with:
Artwork Collection • Packaging • Transport Coordination • Oversized Handling • Hanging Systems • Installation Planning • Delivery Logistics
These considerations often become particularly important for touring exhibitions, oversized works and fragile collectable pieces.
Conservation & Long-Term Care
While exhibition framing often prioritises presentation and practicality, conservation remains an important consideration for many artworks.
Where appropriate, we can incorporate conservation-focused framing methods including UV-filtering glazing, conservation-grade matboards, archival supports, reversible mounting methods and museum-grade framing options.
