Proposal Assessment

The proposal assessment is broken into four subsections: Materials; Structure/Fabrication;Technological/Mechanical Components; and Maintenance/Conservation.

Materials

Assess eachmaterial,including hardware and protective finishes, proposed by the artist. Consider short and long-term environmental factors, as well as public interaction. As needed, recommend possible alternatives in size(gauge) and/or different materials (for additional bullet points, simply use a hard return at the end of recommendation text).When providing a recommendation, please explain how and why the recommendationwill benefit the artwork.
