Hanging 8x8 Prints in the Axle Contemporary mobile art van

We hung six buckets of prints in the AXLE CONTEMPORARY mobile art van on July 8, 2022.  The first exhibition will be Sunday, July 10th during the PRINTED MATTERS Festival in the Santa Fe Railyard.  Other exhibitions will follow until the end of July, at various locations around Santa Fe.


Note the two blown up Tres Gatos Press prints from Guadalajara, wheat pasted on the outside of the van -- port side, large print by Xavier Moreno, small print by Alejandra Mares (reversed sizes on the starboard side).

Six buckets of prints outside,
hung in six rows of prints inside





Three rows of prints on the port side,
11 prints per row

The Hanging


Bare walls


Matthew cut some wooden strips
to fit inside the van


Three wooden strips on the port side,
ready to accept push-pins 


The first row of framed 8x8 inch prints (port side)
look nice hanging from the wooden strips
