Re: [Frameworks] reflective white material

[Bill Basquin]

Hi Mark.

I have used Medium Weight cotton muslin as a rear projection screen and been happy with the results. You may or may not be, depending on your relationship to sharpness.
I would recommend lacing the fabric onto a frame so that it is very taught. You could also clip the fabric to a frame with spring clamps/grip clips, but it may be harder to get the material as taught as you might like it to be.
You can usually rent metal frames and correspondingly-sized pieces of muslin at grip and electric houses.

To some extent, your choice of material may depend on the dimensions you want the surface to be, and whether you can live with a seam or not (a very large cotton drop cloth will have a seam, a smaller one probably won't).

Subject: [Frameworks] reflective white material

Hey All,

I'm looking to explore projecting images on the floor, wall and ceiling of a gallery space in the coming weeks.  I envision some sort of reflective screen like material (inexpensive) that I could lay on the floor or suspend from the ceiling.  I guess I could use a bedsheet!....  any other suggestions out there?  I'm thinking of just getting a few dropcloth sized pieces and playing around, but I don't know what material to seek out.  Any suggestions welcome.

all best,

mark Street
