How would you interpret ‘hang’ in the context? Here’s where you and I come in. They recruited my old boss for the job, Leroy Davidson from the Walker. He only got 50 thousand clams to work with but he’s done a killer job, Leroy chose everything himself. He’s fed up with the Europeans sniggering about heart-throbbing landscapes and the American Scene, so he decided to give them an eyeful. Seventy-nine paintings, mostly Modern Art: Stuart Davis, Marsden Hartley, Georgia O’Keeffe, it’s a killer. Even Goodrich at the Whitney says so. We’re hanging it here in New York for the summer and then it moves to the National for a few weeks. Leroy says Congress needs to see what American Art looks like, before we send it off. How would you interpret ‘hang’ in the sentence: We’re hanging it here in New York for the summer…? Does the narrator mean they’re hanging the paintings in some museum in New York? Thanks!

Yep that's what it sounds like to me.

Yes, I agree... I guess "it" refers to the whole exhibition of paintings.
