Job Security: Voices and Views from the American Security Industry

August – December 2024
1st and 2nd Floor Main Galleries

 

Based on the book Job/Security (MIT Press, 2024) by two UAlbany professors, artist Danny Goodwin and writer Edward Schwarzschild, Job Security is an exhibition of photography, video, and interactive installations exploring the daily lives, ethical standards, working conditions, and unique challenges faced by security workers. The exhibition seeks to provide a deep understanding of the complex and sometimes contradictory demands placed on laborers in the security industry and raise awareness about the significant expansion of the global security apparatus in contemporary society.
