04.01 Methods of Displaying Multiples

Displaying multiples of an object or an artwork has different considerations than displaying a singular unique art object. Think about the difference between a rack of clothing of different size of the same kind of pants versus a specific outfit displayed on a human form.

There are multiple strategies and techniques for displaying multiple forms based on basic design principles. It can be advantageous to use proven methods of display and it can be good to dismiss traditional methods in favor of new potentially unproven methods.

Consider if you will:

• Use a grid?
• Use a shelf?
• A pile on the floor?
• Hanging from the ceiling?
• Use a pedestal?
• Use multiple pedestals?
