Guarded

Once in a museum in the US we got too close to an Indian rug and a recorded voice from nowhere instructed us to, "Move away. Do not touch." Only problem was that the voice was in a strong Indian accent. Even though breaking the security beam that triggered the voice got the guards into the room, we did it a couple of times to confirm that we did hear "touchem" instead of "touch." Yesterday at Ronnie van Hout's exhibition, Who goes there, at the Christchurch Art Gallery we tripped another beam and got "Please stand back from the art work. Thank you." Was it Ronnie? Was it part of the work? Did it really matter? It was great whatever.
