Q: Can art handlers put any safeguards in place to make art less likely to be interfered with by the public? #AskTheWhit
  15 May
Whitney Museum @whitneymuseum
GM: There will invariably be a # of ways to install something; it’s just a case of figuring out the safest possible way. #AskTheWhit (2/2)
  15 May
Whitney Museum @whitneymuseum
GM: If it’s a complex work, then there will hopefully be a courier accompanying it, installation instructions, or photos. #AskTheWhit (1/2)

Q: How do art handlers know the right way to install an artwork (especially works with multiple components)? #AskTheWhit
  15 May
Whitney Museum @whitneymuseum
GM: Sol LeWitt, Richard Tuttle, Paul McCarthy, Wade Guyton, and David Smith spring to mind. #AskTheWhit

Q: What is the best/most challenging aspect of being an art handler? #AskTheWhit
  15 May
Whitney Museum @whitneymuseum
GM: We tend to install 1 exhibition at a time. For a 2D show, a crew of 6 would suffice. 8–10 for heavier/more complex 3D work. #AsktheWhit

Q: On average, how many art handlers does it take to hang an entire exhibition? #AskTheWhit
  15 May
Whitney Museum @whitneymuseum
GM: When work increases in size, scale & weight the potential for injury increases, adding another layer of complexity. #AskTheWhit (2/2)

Whitney Museum @whitneymuseum
GM: The recent David Smith exhibition had some very large-scale sculptures that required the use of gantries & forklifts. #AskTheWhit (1/2)
