As part of an ARTnews special feature on museum guards, Katherine McMahon highlighted ICA’s own Linda Harris, a longtime security guard with many stories to tell.
Linda Harris, who has worked as a guard at the Institute of Contemporary Art for 14 years, often finds she can recite the sound tracks of the video art of the galleries she patrols. “When they finish installing, I stand there and memorize the piece. I only have to look at it a couple of times,” she said.
