Installation diagrams



I think my easiest solution for hanging in this space is to put a length of aluminum conduit across the beam and hang down from it with cables. However this will keep the panel out from the window plane perhaps further than I'd like but it is the low tech solution. I'm open to other suggestions that don't involve permanently  attaching to the curtain wall frame.
Michael M. suggested this solution but my windows are 132" high and some of the panels are small and only framed with lead so it seems like over kill.
I am instead considering spring tension curtain rods for the smaller pieces. The large windows are 44 1/2" wide and the narrow windows are 21 1/2" wide. 
This model adjusts  42" to  60"
These adjust 18" to 30"

I need installation suggestions

I have the opportunity to exhibit some work (temporarily) in this atrium space. I'm looking for some solutions as to how to hang panels in these openings. I'm only going to use the ground level. Some of the panels are small so need to be at eye level.


I plan to use these windows




This first tier is about 12 feet high

Can I utilize this bar? It's a foot out from the curtain wall and I'd have to drop wires down a considerable distance.

AGG Brochure: PITTSBURGH edition

I'm editing the AGG Brochure to remove Asheville and add the Pittsburgh Conference. I'm using an image I took of Heinz Chapel and am now reworking the text. I have room for about 25 words at 12pt type. It currently reads:
Network with colleagues, tour stained glass in situ, participate in workshops, learn from engaging speakers.
