Stand and Build
a design + build studio
Tom LaDuke at Miles McEnery Gallery NYC
Completed: 2021
Location: Miles McEnery Gallery, New York, NY
Project Type: museum-grade custom pedestals, precision mitered, seamless roll-painted finish, fine art display
For artist Tom LaDuke’s solo exhibition at Miles McEnery Gallery in Chelsea, Stand and Build fabricated custom museum-grade display pedestals. Designed to support LaDuke’s intricate sculptures, the plinths provide a clean, monolithic foundation that complements the delicate textures of the artwork.
Fabricated in our Long Island City studio, each pedestal was engineered with precision 45-degree mitered joints to eliminate visible seams. To ensure a flawless presentation under gallery lighting, our team executed a specialized, seamless roll-painted application, achieving a durable, museum-quality white finish.
Stand and Build manages all transit prep in-house to guarantee museum-level protection. Each pedestal is wrapped in 1/4-inch polyethylene foam, fitted with reinforced cardboard corner guards, and tightly stretch-wrapped to ensure safe arrival and seamless handover to the gallery team.
