Watch: Meet Museum Security Guard Artists in 'Osmosis' Short Doc

"They watch the art. They watch you watch the art. But who watches what the art does to them?" A potent opening question. Did you know that there's security guards working at famous museums in New York City who are moreover artists themselves? Osmosis is a fascinating 3-minute documentary short quickly profiling 9 of these security guards / artists. They work at iconic places virtually NYC: The Met, The Guggenheim, The Brooklyn Museum, and The Noguchi Museum. I love this reminder that just considering they work as a baby-sit it doesn't midpoint they don't have a life outside of that work, but it's expressly enlivening to see the connection between their passion and their workplace. Though it's moreover a bit sad their art is not in these museums they work at, but this has unchangingly been a struggle for artists. Maybe one day they will be exhibited!! This video has some wonderfully creative editing that really makes an impact within a limited value of time. Great work.
