Chapeltown Salon

I paid a visit on wednesday to the chapetown salon at union 105.
It was interesting to see work displayed in this way, all sizes all heights jumbled together almost floor to ceiling. it would be interesting to know whether the logic for hanging the work went beyond the jigsaw of fitting the multiple pieces on the wall which must have been a feat in itself?

Because even if hung only in relation to size, the narrative and presence of a work extends beyond the picture frame (all the works in the salon were 2d) your perception of one painting bleeds onto another and vise verse. A sense of humour, or nostalgia or subversion may be taken from one piece and affect another.
Exactly why exhibitions are curated along a theme, making the work sympathetic to the other works that it shears a space with.

There were a couple of quite novel ways of hanging that I did quite take to. One piece a pan and ink on lined note pad paper was sellotaped to the wall, cheap, affective to purpose however I presume quite unsalable as you would have to remove it with a scalpel knife. also there appeared to be quite a few frames of the kind you might find in a charity shop, the ones you get for 50p with the added extra of a print of a cat or something of that ilk, again cheap fit for purpose however I did question if the artist chose it for this reason or whether they were trying to add a kitch quality to the work.
