In this short lunchtime gallery talk, poet and performer Brandon Brown responds to Scottish artist Katie Patterson’s Dying Star Letters, featured in the exhibition Night Begins the Day: Rethinking Space, Time, and Beauty. In 2010, Patterson began drafting letters of condolence for individual stellar deaths. Brandon Brown is the author of four books, most recently Top 40 and Flowering Mall, both from Roof. His work has appeared recently in Open Space, the blog and magazine of SFMOMA, Art Practical, Maggy, Elderly, Berkeley Poetry Review, and Where Eagles Dare. He lives in Oakland.
