Best of luck!
Can you be a focal point of selling these catalogues to Forumites?

Ariel,

The amount of work was by many. I'm just the put-together-guy.
It's been 28 years, and I lost all those butterflies, he he. I just want to see this complete.

I apologize, I cannot be the focal point for sale of these catalogues. This could be interpreted as corruption. I don't want to have anything to do with sales, if you understand me. It has to go through proper chanels which I do not want to be connected. There's an email up this thread.
The more folks email, the better. Then just please bear a little. This is a work that started two and a half years ago.

Thanks

Here is that e-mail address for ordering catalogues and posters, again:

artmuseum@iacm.gov.mo

Put in the subject line something like "Request for History of Steel catalogue," or "History of Steel catalogue [or poster] order."

Well folks,

I didn't invent bureaucracy and red tape and I dislike it.
I'm a field man when the time comes.

Here are a couple of pics to wet your appetite

Bare display room.

Goodies arrive by car

Early tests.

Now you have to wait and see

Have a nice weekend

Thank you, Antonio. It's a real treat to see how an exhibition like this comes together.

If time permits, please continue to post updates.

Best,
Andrew

Most kind of you Andrew,

Time is very scarce. It will be stress up to the last minute. This is a whale of an exhibition

And I guess if the exhibition was not inside my mind... it would be really scary. It is still scary to mount almost 300 items.

Meantime a picture about an overall presentation of the exhibition for the volunteer guides.

Here is a picture of the mountain people from Mark's site.
They will be guiding schools and so forth.

Very best,
Antonio

Outstanding, Antonio. I'm getting quite excited about the exhibition.

I know the catalogue release will be delayed because of its great size and scope but, in a way, this makes not being there that much easier because once the exhibition closes, we'll still have something to look forward to!

Thanks Andrew,

Indeed the design department is treating each of the 278 photos (if I well remember) by removind unwanted things in the background, and so forth.

Nonetheless, here is a picture of the center display case which has two sides facing two opposite walls.

Prepared to be painted black.

Here I'm directing the placement of partitions to visually separate different periods in the Korean display section.

Then with the partitions hung and the frame painted black and still a lot of mess. When the ceiling lights are turned off, everything will look dark.
Only display cases lights will show its contents.

Off to work in an hour... Now its a non-stop until it's done.

As soon as the design department has pictures I will upload them and hope to see the website finished.

Thank you for your kind words.
