In my Practical Practices course at DAAP, we were given the pleasure of having Jason Franz the Curator/Art Director at Manifest Gallery (http://www.manifestgallery.org/index.html) in Cincinnati. He is a realistic figure artist himself with years of experience in various aspects of the art world. His focus on shipping art was very insightful as he displayed many tips for how to safely package artwork as well as make it easy for the gallery to access. Having cleanly packaged work is important for one's professional reflection as well makes the process easier and safer for the work to be installed properly. Using packaging tape tags, including instructions, as well as NOT USING PACKAGING POPCORN we vital pieces of information he was able to suggest. This perspective was two sided due to his time as a gallery director/Artist. Seeing both sides gives him a good perspective on how to exist in the professional world.
Be sure to look into his work and always consider how your work exists without you next to it.
