Description
In 1990, Benchmark introduced our first catalog of 200+ tools and materials geared to the special requirements of exhibition installation. The Catalog was produced in response to being so often asked (while we were on-site doing installations) "Where do you get this item?" The answer was very often "We make that ourselves"....so we decided to make a few more, and offer them to all. We include many hard-to-find items and make available smaller quantities of items that are usually "bulk" buy.
Since 1980, Benchmark has worked to augment the capabilities of museums, galleries, historical societies, corporate and private collections. through custom mountmaking and on-site artifact installation for exhibition. Benchmark is known for its on-time, on-budget work done by knowledgeable and good-natured mountmakers. A particular strength is to successfully assemble skilled teams that can beat a tight deadline. Our services include:
Effective mount-making combines overall esthetic considerations with a concern for each object's nature and safety, avoiding problems and adverse reactions from use of incompatible materials. Our mounts are as invisible as possible, so as not to interfere with the integrity and silhouette of the objects they support. Unless otherwise requested, we paint out all of our mounts to further conceal them. All mounts are carefully padded to prevent abrading the object. We are familiar with a full range of mount-making, from pinning small, delicate objects, to designing and fabricating large structural mounts.
