The Museum Gaze

by Lawrence Lazare

In 2012, while attending a Mike Kelley retrospective at New York’s PS1 Museum, I became fascinated watching a museum guard. Standing in a gallery filled with stuffed animals crammed together into satellite-like sculptures, I wondered what it must be like to spend your day working in such a curious environment.

Art is a conversation, and the images in The Museum Gaze captures the give and take in the dialog between the viewer and the artwork. The Museum Gaze offers a glimpse into the complex interplay between art, the viewer, staff and the museum itself.
