Cheers Static!, by seidbereit on Jan 30, 2008 14:45:35 GMT 1, Took only two days for the reversible chinook to get here! Almightily chuffed! ;D ;D
Gold-ringed side:
Red-ringed side:
The piece it's next to is by Berlin-based chainsaw-sculptor, Ted Behrens (The Tower), those pockets are cut out of the wood on all four sides. Makes some great sounds, depending on where you tap it.
On the Chinook piece, though, I'm a bit unsiure how to hang it as there are no fixings with it being double-sided.
Does anyone know of some sort of brackets or clamps I could use that don't involve boring holes in it and which would allow me to easily change it around without causing damage? I'd thought of just putting it in a pedestal or maybe a shelf but that would take up a fair bit of floor/wall space and it could still just fall off if it was walked into so not too sure about that as a solution.... Cheers for any tips.

Cheers Static!, by Dellboyy on Jan 30, 2008 15:30:39 GMT 1, I had a similar problem with my l.e.t. piece on wood, in the end i used mirror brackets which are screwed to the wall and just hold the wood in place. Mine looks to be a lot thinner than yours, but i'm sure you could find some that support the extra size and weight?

I expect it'll end up being something like that in the end but as this is about 3 1/2 - 4 inches thick, I'll probably need shelf brackets or something similar. I think I know the ones you mean though so I'll have a look if they come in different sizes. Ta.

Or, Put it in a perspex box and just display each side randomly.

Cheers Static!, by seidbereit on Jan 30, 2008 16:19:59 GMT 1, Already thought about the shelf, but it still wouldn't take much to make it fall over as the base is only 8cms wide and it's 80 high so every time it's touched it wobbles.
What's a revolve Carl?

Cheers Static!, by jonpud on Jan 30, 2008 16:37:38 GMT 1, Difficult to describe but I would get a sheet of perspex cut to size have it moulded ito an elongated ''u' shape with two flanges complete with fixing holes, then screw to wall and slide artwork in, then you can change it whenever you want!
Does this make sense?

I'm unsure which side of my brain I should be using ;D
Do you mean u-shaped so that the perspex spans the whole piece behind and in front and both sides open to allow the piece to be taken out? I'm not sure what you mean with the two flanges...

It would be like sticking it on a record player!

Ahh... very useful ;D . Briefly considered having it clamped into some sort of frame and hanging it from the chain fixed to ceiling to let it revolve by itself but I reckon I'll get grief from my GF if I ever say that out loud.

Hmmmmmm, no, not what I meant, knew this would be difficult! two flat flanges against the wall, say 3 fixings in each with black iron door bolts to compliment the piece, the perspex folds 90degrees out from wall and then covers the complete face of the artwork, the sides are open to allow you to slide the piece in and out? Just an idea and probably a crap one!! ;D

I think I get what you mean now... the flanges are at the top and bottom, right? Love the idea with the iron bolts! +1
I'll have a think about it and maybe even do some sketches at the weekend, I've a carpenter mate I could ask who's pretty good at these sort of things.
Thinking about the perspex I may actually avoid that for this piece as the gold-ring side is already quite shiny from the varnish and it could just be adding shine over shine and I'm not sure how that would look. Again, cheers for the old ironmongery tip... that's a truly inspired piece of thinking, cheers PUD!!

Why not just have two bolts that come out of the wall (10cm) that the piece sits on at a slight angle (5 degrees) and then you can swap it around at your leisure.

Cheers Static!, by seidbereit on Jan 30, 2008 17:59:25 GMT 1, The idea with the bolts is very simple but I don't think it'll work with the wall I'm thinking of putting it on as it's an old DDR style plastered wooden slats thing.... probably a load of asbestos in it too
A tube of no-more-nails will however be used for some other little beauties Static sent me though....

Yeah, loving it. They do alot more mate. The Chinook tends to be what they stick on the street but if you look at the Amilas site you will see a few examples of other work. Their next print also is Chinook free and a real cracker.

Whos John? I think they started making Tshirts with Chinooks on them first. The chinooks on board (outside) were done towards the end of last year I think. They were doing silksceens along time before doing anything on the street.
Do you like the Chinooks?
