Site installation is a key task when curating an art show. Typically one week before the opening, you and your team will need to do the on-site installation which includes the construction and painting of walls. The artists and assistants will install the artwork, and the technicians will set up the lighting and technical equipment.
If artwork was shipped, carefully unwrap the crates, bubble wrap and other packaging materials as you do not want to damage any of the work with a box cutter.
A museum will have its own staff to set up the installation; however, if you are starting out you will need to do DIY. Artists are pros at setting up their work and there are also art installation companies for hire.
