She Could Not Leave It Alone

Jacqueline Mitchell has spent more than twenty years thinking about how art lives in a space. Not the art itself: the relationship between the work, the walls, and the people who move through the room every day.
That is what Hang Logic is about. Not picture hooks. Not hardware. The experience of a space where art is displayed with the care it deserves, and where the walls that hold it remain exactly as they were.

The Idea That Started It All

Jacqueline left Australia after high school. Over the following years she taught theoretical economics at Munich University and worked as a simultaneous conference interpreter for the EU in Brussels. She was good at both. Neither quite held her.
What did stay with her was something she noticed travelling across Europe for work. In Sweden, businesses displayed large, immersive paintings in their offices. Not prints behind reception desks. Paintings: considered, generous, alive. The offices felt like somewhere a person could think. She did not forget that.
She came back to Australia in 2002 and built what she had been imagining. Art Logic placed original works by local artists in business spaces and rotated them every four to six months.
The art changed. The spaces changed with it.

The Problem No One Had Solved

Art Logic rotated art constantly. That meant hanging and re-hanging, in office after office, week after week. And every time a new work went up, there was a choice: drill another hole, or find something better.
Jacqueline was not prepared to drill another hole. The walls her clients had invested in deserved better than that. So in 2003 she started looking for a picture hanging system that could carry the weight, hold the work, and leave the wall untouched.
She found Artiteq, manufactured in Tilburg in the Netherlands. She visited the factory herself. What she found was a system designed with the same care that goes into a wellmade building: precise, considered, and built to last. Artiteq is the only picture hanging system that carries a 10-year guarantee. That says something.
She brought it back to Australia. Art Logic’s clients had pristine walls for the first time. Then those clients told their friends. Then their friends asked if they could have the system in their homes.

Hang Logic Was Born From That Demand

In 2005 Jacqueline founded Hang Logic as a business in its own right. The system that had solved Art Logic’s problem was now available to anyone who cared about their walls and the art on them.
Since then, Hang Logic has installed over 100,000 metres of Artiteq systems across homes, schools, offices, libraries, council buildings, sports venues, cafes, restaurants, and medical practices. The system is the same one Jacqueline chose in 2003. It has not needed replacing.

Where Has Hang Logic Installed Picture Hanging Systems?

Since then, Hang Logic has installed about 100,000 metres of the Artiteq art hanging systems in homes, schools, offices, libraries, council buildings, sports venues, cafés, restaurants and medical practices.The Hang Logic team is in love with this hanging system and the possibilities it offers (that is actually true!)

The People Behind Every Installation

Hang Logic is a small team. That is not an accident. We like it that way.

When you contact us, you are not entering a labyrinth of departments, ticket numbers and hold music. You are talking to people who actually know the systems, care about the outcome, and notice when a rail is 2 mm off.

Jacqueline Mitchell still takes consultations personally. She has curated and installed around 1,000 art exhibitions, so she has seen the full spectrum – from art displayed beautifully to art hung in ways that make a wall quietly lose the will to live. She will speak with you directly, with no obligation, and give you a clear answer about which system suits your space and your stage of the build.

Steph Cibich brings a Master of Arts in Curatorial and Museum Studies, along with hands-on experience at the Art Gallery of South Australia. Steph understands how art behaves in a space at a level most installers simply do not. She sees not just where something can go, but where it should go.

Greg Helbig is a cabinetmaker with 25 years of experience installing picture rails. He works with the kind of accuracy that makes the finished result look effortless, which of course usually means a great deal of care has gone into it. Greg is one of those people who restores your faith in straight lines.

Jono Sweeney is both an installer and a curator, which is a rather useful combination. He has an exceptionally sharp eye and a habit of spotting the one thing everyone else has missed. If there is a detail quietly misbehaving in the corner, Jono will find it.

Eddie Bray looks after packing and dispatch. He is careful, exact and wonderfully methodical. Orders leave Hang Logic properly checked, properly packed and properly labelled – which sounds simple until you have experienced the alternative.

Tony Sinclair has managed IT operations since 2008 and has kept the business running smoothly ever since. If something quietly works as it should behind the scenes, Tony is the reason. Like all good IT people, he is most impressive when you barely notice he is there.
