One Act Play, 4 actors (any gender)

A curator acquisitions a new piece of art, a boss tries to enforce the museum's rules, and New Art and Old Art are seemingly alive, striving to have meaning in a world that forces them to compete for limited space despite their similarities. Within the walls of the museum's storage area they discuss the purpose of art, the nature of observation, and the imperialist practices of museums. As Old Art and New Art bring each other deeper understanding the Curator has a realization that expands their mind beyond the confines of the very play that they're in.
