In honor of the late Stanley Brouwn, an oblique contemporary of Marcel Broodthaers who shared his interest in the play of language and space and memory, we are happy to reprise Brouwn's situationist artwork
this way brouwn (1961–), in which Brouwn asked strangers on the street to draw directions to well-known destinations. In that spirit, and also in honor of Gavin Brown, here are some hyperlinked ways of getting from the Broodthaers Society of America to 439 West 127th Street, the former location of Gavin Brown's Enterprise. In other words:
