DON’T TOUCH: When museum guards talk about what they see at work (F3), a favorite story concerns a piece on display last summer at the Newport Harbor Art Museum. . . . Artist Charles Ray’s “Ink Box” was designed to look like a sleekly contemporary black cube sculpture. In fact, it was filled with 200 gallons of black ink. Along came a woman in a nice white dress. “She put her arm in almost up to her shoulder,” guard Joe Husovsky recalled. “And when she pulled back . . . a wave of ink hit her. I think she was in shock.”
