Hmmmm... What about a tie off? If there is a solid place to tie it off you could toss a rope over the beam and then just pull it up to correct height, that would be easy to do.... Of course that would only work if it is a fully exposed beam. I can't think of any other way to do it.

Unfortunately it's not a fully exposed beam.......and besides the rope & bait have to be ~completely~ removed when we're open for business, not just hung out of reach... it is an art gallery afterall..

No offense, but I've seen some of the 'art' that hangs in many galleries. Just put up a small card with an artist name (Popin), the title of the work(Spring Pole) and a price ($35). Bingo! It's an installation piece!

hahaha, now THAT's an idea... :))

Maybe we could have him working the spring pole DURING the show and call it performance art. lol

That'd be a workout!

We don't hang that kind of art though, thank god! We hang lots of weird stuff....but nothing ridiculous like "tire and rope" for the low low price of $600. hahaha

Here's one of my fiance's pieces (oil on canvas) that was in our grand opening exhibition.... it's a crowd favorite everywhere it goes...

hahaha, sure sure, as long as you don't mind living with a weird anime-inspired illustrator gone painter. lol

The one above is from her Alice in Wonderland series, it's entitled "Painting the Roses Red"

More of Kimmie's stuff at our website if you wanna see. PS: It's for sale. :))

she does some really cool stuff! I'm into anime, too! how big are the paintings, in general? I like the one with the koi A LOT! I'm not crazy about the color scheme, but i really like it. How much would it cost me to commission her to do another version of it? she can pm me if she doesn't want to post that answer on the board...

The "Painting the Roses Red" one is something ridiculous like 64"x48"... It's pretty big, and comes with a hefty price tag, $950.

The painting with the koi is smaller, like 33"x24" and sold for $350. Generally, commissions are higher priced since the buyer is dictating to the artist exactly what he/she wants.... But I could probably swing you a deal. PM me if you're seriously interested.
