Museum guards spend hours with the artifacts they watch over, so of course they’re going to have opinions about #art and #curation. Get to know 2 of the guards who participated in the Baltimore Museum of Art's 2022 show, “Guarding the Art.” They’re not just protecting the art; they’re in a relationship with it and how people react to it. Just talking about the profound impact of art moved one guard to tears, and for that alone, I love this interview.

@miaq Looking forward to listening! Last spring, Patrick Bringely, a guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a decade, published a lovely memoir. You might enjoy it if you’re still interested in the topic. I wrote about it (and a book from the Met's CEO) in March: https://magazine.frontier.is/p/palaces-of-the-people
@briansholis Ah so cool! Thank you! Will check it out and sub to your Substack. Thank you for sharing this. Memoirs are my jam too.
