A conversation with Dr. Jonathan Stuhlman and Mark Scala
Join Frist Art Museum chief curator Mark Scala and organizing curator of Southern/Modern Dr. Jonathan Stuhlman for this conversation about modern art as a progressive force in the American South between 1913 and 1955. Following William Faulkner’s famous statement, “The past is never dead. . . . It’s not even past,” the curators will discuss the exhibition in the context of both history and today’s South, considering such themes as Southern identity, the environment, race and class, and the role of universities and museums in supporting creativity and innovation in the region.
