Best way to run a gallery?

This will mean that every 2 weeks or so, a new set of work will have to be hung.

I'm interested in finding out the best way of displaying the work with this in mind. If I was hanging some paintings permanently it'd be grand to hammer in some nails. But I'm guessing that that would not be the best way to go about it if I'll be changing the display every couple of weeks, with different pictures hung in different places.

I was thinking of having a beam running across at the ceiling, with cables hanging down. If the cables could be adjusted horizontally and vertically, it would mean the walls wouldn't have to be touched and it'd be a breeze just moving the cables around.

Thanks for any input!
