 The two additional items always handy for equipment prep is an installation toolbox, and extra parts. Installation tool boxes should include a basic hardware kit (hammer, pliers, screwdriver, etc), pencils, a level, sharpies, and adhesive hangers, and any additional considerations specific to the exhibition. Cable management can be incredibly difficult for exhibitions, so plan how each piece can be laid out to obfuscate cabling and get access to power. Cable ties and colored masking tape are affordable substitutes for professional cable management enclosures. The two additional items always handy for equipment prep is an installation toolbox, and extra parts.

 Extra parts should ideally be an additional 10% of all basic needs for the exhibition. This includes additional computers, cables, controllers, and audio devices. If unavailable, make contingency plans for how to exhibit a specific piece, or how an additional piece of equipment could be sourced in an emergency. Extra parts should ideally be an additional 10% of all basic needs for the exhibition.

 Unless there are enough installers for this to be an individual’s specific task, or if the issue is a significant emergency, follow through on installing the show before addressing specific troubleshooting issues. This can allow for a prioritization of all additional tasks, a better understanding of available extra/leftover equipment, and can reduce additional trips to purchase/source necessary gear. Prepare for troubleshooting by collecting contact information for participating artists in a single document, maintain your inventory in a spreadsheet, and ensure that you have on-site backups of all applications and software running in the exhibition. When working with a larger installation team, ensure that everybody knows who to talk to about the issue, so that all bugs can be accounted for and delegated amongst the group. Unless there are enough installers for this to be an individual’s specific task, or if the issue is a significant emergency, follow through on installing the show before addressing specific troubleshooting issues.
