how to arrange an origami (convention) display

Post by akugami »

do you just place your models with a name or is there something more you're going to share with the audience (a description for a non-popular design, a cp, information on paper and size, ...)?
what kind of background information would you like to see/read if you visit an origami exhibition?

Well I havent personally done a convention display, but usually the design name, designer, your name, and age maybe? type of paper, or size. Just depends on the model or the person who is displaying it.
I would rather fail trying than fail without trying....

Photo from last year's convention in Melbourne.... Hope it helps. (actually... More like "hope the link works.")

Use your taste. And a card with the name of the autor and the folder. Too much information is not a must (CP, a description of technic or about the model) if you are not displaying for folders.

Might put in a crease pattern if such is warranted. Can't say I recall ever putting out anything I didn't design myself, and if the nature of the thing isn't self-evident it isn't good enough in my book to display. I of course would make exception for something funny or with a pun were I sufficiently clever to invent such.

I like to see names of models not because I can't identify them, but because it makes them easier to track down later.

this was my display at the 25th convention of origami deutschland (the german origami society). i gave no information on paper quality and sizes but a few words on the meaning of each model. placing the (also folded) frames on this improvised folding-screen made it possible to place other models in front of it - just as dirk eisner did with his colourful modular work.
