The Origami Forum

do you just place your models with a name or is there something more you're going to share with the audience (a description for a non-popular design, a cp, information on paper and size, ...)?
what kind of background information would you like to see/read if you visit an origami exhibition?

Well I havent personally done a convention display, but usually the design name, designer, your name, and age maybe? type of paper, or size. Just depends on the model or the person who is displaying it.

Photo from last year's convention in Melbourne.... Hope it helps. (actually... More like "hope the link works.")

Use your taste. And a card with the name of the autor and the folder. Too much information is not a must (CP, a description of technic or about the model) if you are not displaying for folders.

Might put in a crease pattern if such is warranted. Can't say I recall ever putting out anything I didn't design myself, and if the nature of the thing isn't self-evident it isn't good enough in my book to display. I of course would make exception for something funny or with a pun were I sufficiently clever to invent such.

I like to see names of models not because I can't identify them, but because it makes them easier to track down later.

this was my display at the 25th convention of origami deutschland (the german origami society). i gave no information on paper quality and sizes but a few words on the meaning of each model. placing the (also folded) frames on this improvised folding-screen made it possible to place other models in front of it - just as dirk eisner did with his colourful modular work.
