Frances Morris has this question figured out: she will return to the home in which she was born, a Georgian house abreast the Meridian Line in Greenwich. In this deeply personal conversation, Frances explains why her childhood home has such an emotional hold over her.  Southeast London has been the backdrop to her whole life, and it's fitting that she has worked at the forefront of its most important cultural institution: Tate Modern. Not only was she the gallery's first female director, but Frances has also redefined the perception of female artists, spearheading retrospectives of Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama, Agnes Martin and others. Shortly before we recorded this podcast, it was announced that she will be leaving for pastures new. I've come to meet her in her office within the bowels of the gallery, and, understandably, she is in reflective mood.  \nThis is one of the most memorable conversations I've ever had. Frances feels like someone I've known for ever, and her background and story have significant parallels with my own. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did. \n \nThis conversation was recorded in person at the Tate Modern. \nFor more on Frances Morris:\nHead over to our website for more images of the places discussed\nVisit the Tate Modern \nFor more from the The Modern House: \nSign up to our newsletter for weekly interior inspiration \nCheck out Matt Gibberd’s latest book, A Modern Way To Live \nFollow Matt Gibberd on Instagram\nFollow The Modern House Instagram\nWatch our Homing In films on YouTube\n\nExecutive Producer: Kate Taylor of Feast Collective\nProduction: Hannah Phillips\nMusic: Father\nGraphic Design: Tom Young\n Hosted on Acast.
