Let the work define the installation
Begin with the artist’s intended framing and the way visitors encounter the work. A moving image viewed from across a room has different requirements from fine detail examined close up. Record the required aspect ratio and decide whether the visible screen edge is part of the composition.
Approve colour and motion in context
Review a sample of the actual artwork on the proposed display with the gallery lighting in place. Include dark scenes, gradients, fine text and slow movement. Confirm acceptable brightness and playback settings with the artist or curator rather than assuming that the brightest image is the right one.
Make the exhibition repeatable
Document the final media files, start-up sequence, looping behaviour and approved settings. For a work spanning multiple screens, identify which events must stay synchronized. Agree who may replace a file or change the playback schedule during the exhibition, and keep a recoverable copy of the approved version.
Brief checklist
Artwork format, frame rate and an authorized sample file.
A room plan, viewing distances and intended opening hours.
Artist requirements for colour, sound and screen framing.
Installation access, cable routing and the content approval contact.
Planning questions
Can the work be shown without cropping?
The screen geometry and media canvas should be agreed before final delivery. If they differ, decide with the artist whether to adapt the canvas or retain empty space.
Is an LED wall always the best medium?
No. Compare it with projection or other displays using the room lighting, viewing distance and the work’s visual intent. A sample viewing is more useful than a resolution label alone.
