Ben Singson speaks with artist/curator Robert Mazrim and Moving Pillsbury Forward President Chris Richmond about the abandon Pillbury Mill, the art that arose out of it, and the future of the property.
From the pillsburyproject.org website:
Friends,
The demolition of the Pillsbury mill and factory is approaching completion, but its history, art, and artifacts are alive and well!
As the last of the buildings fall to the ground we have plenty to remember. First up is a brand-new book by curator and artist Robert Mazrim. “Pillsbury Abandoned: Art & Ruin in the Industrial Midwest” is a rich collection of photographs of the decayed factory, as well as the art made at the site between 2022 and 2025. Additionally, Los Angeles filmmaker Matthew Konicek is completing his documentary “Ruined”, which explores the haunting and decaying spaces of the Pillsbury mill, many of which were rarely seen by the public.
