Between May 1987 and April 1988, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts circulated a travelling exhibition of over 100 drawings by Montreal contemporary artist Betty Goodwin, of which several were oversized. The largest, <intitled No. 1</i>, 121.5 inches x 169.5 inches, consisted of four sheets of translucent white paper superimposed over three other sheets. Another oversized work was executed on Geofilm, a heavy drafting support made of Mylar covered with a translucent coating. The artist's original intent was to hang the works freely from the wall with no frame or barrier. The works were installed using 5/8-inch-diameter or less painted ceramic magnets of grade 5, the strongest standard type, and painted steel bars about 1.25 inch wide and 1/8-inch thick screwed to the walls. Fluttering in air currents was overcome by adjusting the ventilation and using one or more nylon threads stretched across the bottom of each drawing and pinned to the wall. For transportation, each oversized drawing interleafed with glassine was rolled onto a 12-inch-diameter Sono-tube® covered with thick Pellon® nonwoven polyester, 5 mil Mylar® and acid-free paper, then wrapped with heavyweight buffered paper and placed onto Ethaform® supports inside crates. -- AATA
