Traci Archable-Frederick and Chris Koo are two of the most seasoned guards at Baltimore’s Museum Of Art. They’ve been on every floor, walking miles through this vast museum to make sure everything is safe for patrons.”
“Every hall, all behind the scenes,” Archive-Frederick said with a smile.
The museum’s staff is aware that most visitors just see their uniforms, not necessarily the person wearing them. They say some folks don’t even know they exist and hope more people will ask them about art instead of needing directions to use bathrooms or other basic services like food stores inside venues hosting many concerts each day during events like these “shadow” cities within larger gatherings such as world fairs which celebrate commerce over culture — but we should never forget our history!
In a world where museum curators are increasingly under fire for their decisions on what to display and how it’s refreshing that one of the most important jobs at any institution has been taken off them: security. TheGuardingTheArtExhibit showcases artwork from all over with an emphasis placed upon protecting these pieces against criminals who would do anything they could get away with simply because there is no law enforcement available 24/7- including destroying priceless historical items like paintings without even trying!
“We have this thing,” said Johnson. “You know when you’re approached to help curate an exhibit? You think it’s too much work?” Koo laughs and agrees with her.”Yeah!–Like intimidated at first! But then again where are we now?!
When you think of a museum, what comes to mind? For many people, the first thing that pops into their head is probably some old piece of art with mildew and dust accumulation. But for those who have been at this event all week long, it’s something different entirely; They’re more likely envisioning world-class sculptures sitting on shelves waiting patiently as artists from across disciplines display pieces created solely out of passion or devoted study.
Koo’s favorite piece in the exhibition is Black Over Reds by Mark Rothko. He explained that it made him feel deep emotions, which are often associated with art from this era and generation
Rothkopic colors have been used since his early days as an artist to convey feelings of anxiety or dread but what I like most about them here is how they’re paired together – one shade on top while another runs underneath- giving rise not only eye candy for your senses but also something much more substantial than just pretty pictures
Johnson picked out a more contemporary piece to hang in the foyer: Mickalene Thomas’ “Resist #2,” showing racial protests.
The gallery director asked, “Now that it’s up on the wall this is still your favorite?”
“No regrets,” Archive- Frederick replied with a smile. “I’m very proud of this piece as if it were one of my own.” The artist’s eyes sparkled in pride and his voice carried airy confidence that only came from knowing how much time had been put into something people would never be able to stop looking at or talking about once they started listening – just like him!
The exhibit’s idea came from a board member and head curator. They say guards spend more time with art than anyone else in the museum, so it makes sense that they would be able to notice something different about each piece.”
The participants in this show were asked to think about what art is and why we go see it. One answer might be that everyone needs some sort of escape, but as Naeem points out “it’s also a therapeutic form for those with mental health issues.”
Museum-goers should be aware that if they have any questions about art, then the person next to it is your best source of information.
Johnson’s mouth hung agape as he watched her form disappear in front of him.
“You’re no longer a shadow?” He asked, unable to believe what his eyes were telling him about this beautiful woman before them who used only light for protection and yet still looked stunning despite it all; she had become more radiant than any other person could understand without actually experiencing first hand how beauty worked on such a fundamental level–her gracefulness made every motion seem effortless even though there would have been hours spent perfecting each detail down pat—and then suddenly everything changed again because Johnson saw something else: A beast with glowing red eyes charging towards them fast enough that time itself seemed frozen until finally
