[Themaintainers] The Caretakers maintenance artwork

[Lara Houston]

A lovely new artwork that records the working lives of museum caretakers under lockdown - I thought this may be of interest to Maintainers.

The Caretakers,  Starting on Monday 13th July 2020
 
"The Caretakers invites you to inside 6  museums in the last month of lockdown. Your hosts are those who have been caring for the collections in our absence- security and buildings teams. They’ve spent time making audio recordings of themselves talking while alone during their shifts. I have been working closely with them to create the audio and also to shape it into this series which you can now hear.   

I knew that this project had all the ingredients to be good but I couldn’t know it would be quite so special. Through the eyes of these Caretakers, we are allowed a rare glimpse, not just into the closed museum spaces, and the quiet collections, but into the lives and reflections of the people who find themselves often the sole inhabitants of these usually thriving places.” - Eloise Moody, artist

Best wishes to all, Lara
