To commemorate 2018 Workspace Resident Elliott Jerome Brown Jr.’s exhibition, Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York is pleased to host a conversation between Elliott Jerome Brown Jr. and Isolde Brielmaier on Tuesday, February 5th at 7pm. Brown Jr.’s show, a simple song, was on view until March 2, 2019.
a simple song is comprised of multimedia photographic and photo-sculptural works that draw influences from Billy Preston’s 1971 album, I Wrote a Simple Song, in which the named track describes working on a straightforward song for an intended person and having the song embellished for radio success, leaving this special gesture now stripped of its intimacy and privacy. Isolde Brielmaier has been influential in Brown Jr.’s work, helping to shape his interest in the artist as curator.
