“They watch the artwork. They watch you watch the artwork. However who watches what the artwork does to them?” A potent opening query. Do you know that there is safety guards working at well-known museums in New York Metropolis who’re additionally artists themselves? Osmosis is an enchanting 3-minute documentary quick shortly profiling 9 of those safety guards / artists. They work at iconic locations round NYC: The Met, The Guggenheim, The Brooklyn Museum, and The Noguchi Museum. I really like this reminder that simply because they work as a guard it doesn’t suggest they do not have a life outdoors of that work, however it’s particularly enlivening to see the connection between their ardour and their office. Although it is also a bit unhappy their artwork just isn’t in these museums they work at, however this has at all times been a battle for artists.
