Glass Sculpture @ The National Maritime Museum

Adverse Rigging recently undertook the hanging of a large glass sculpture, by famous artist Rosie Leventon, at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.

The sculpture ‘Absentee’ represents the form of a ship and is hung in the queens building in pride of place just above the famous J.M Turner Battle Of Trafalgar painting.

It is hung from a powder-coated frame built by our fabricators and can be lowered using a demountable winch system in order for regular cleaning.

Adverse Rigging is no stranger to the museum having hung three 50m x 6m shades in the main building and we currently await the hanging of a Mars space probe in the famous Geenwich observatory.

“Responding sensitively to the hanging of a large glass structure, Adverse Rigging developed an extremely successful solution that was implemented effectively and swiftly”
