Rigging
Rigging refers to the process of connecting cables to their appropriate hardware, arranged and masked in such a way as to be unobtrusive, maintaining sightlines of elements in the installation. See pictures for typical examples of rigging.
The Institute™ installation crew typically handles rigging responsibilities, with the assistance of gallery staff. A list of recommended materials is below:
- Gaff tape in white, black, and clear - or any other colours that will help hide cables.
- Nylon cable ties - 6in and 12in.
- Cable wrap or split wire loom (also called split corrugated tubing) to help consolidate wiring and make things neater.
