Brooke Schneider and Mark Scala discuss the art of the "mill town" represented in Southern / Modern

Can you find personal connections in a work made nearly 50 years before you were even born? Artist Brooke Schneider @brooke_e_s and Frist chief curator Mark Scala take a closer look at Leaving The Mill by Crawford Gillis, currently on view through April 28 in Southern / Modern.
How are you connecting with works in this show?

I would have welcomed some commentary on the merits of the picture itself, as a painting.

Thank you for the feedback. We will be sure to include more of that in future editions of our new conversation series between artists and curators.
