Edited by Casey Brennan<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In the vibrant core of New York City’s contemporary art scene, Isolde Brielmaier emerges not only as a cultural curator but as a visionary committed to shaping a future where creativity knows no bounds.<\/p>\n

For Brielmaier, Deputy Director of the New Museum of Contemporary Art and a Guest Curator at the\u00a0International\u00a0Center for Photography, both in New York City, entrepreneurship is not just a title; it’s an inherited spirit. Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, she naturally gravitated towards a path less defined.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started out as a dancer, which involves a lot of twists and turns \u2013 literally and figuratively \u2013 and then I pivoted into contemporary art, yet I have carried my dance sensibility with me,\u201d Brielmaier, who has worked for over two decades in private and public sector as well as in academia, tells GRAZIA USA. \u201cThis meant that focus and discipline along with a desire to move freely and be open and engage with people have remained at my core.\u201d<\/p>\n

Working both independently and for illustrious organizations, Brielmaier, who holds a PhD in Art History, Criticism and Conversation from NYC\u2019s Columbia University, devoted years to ideating and developing projects with artists and creatives across various contexts. As Deputy Director at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, Brielmaier\u2019s work centers on the culture within this cultural institution, ensuring the sustainability and empowerment of the people who contribute to its magic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI work under the umbrella of culture, and that includes art, artists, ideas, and audiences, among other aspects,\u201d says Brielmaier. \u201cI have worked in-house for many amazing organizations and companies but have also worked independently for years. Much of this time has been spent ideating and developing projects with artists and other creatives for a multitude of contexts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brielmaier admits these experiences have challenged her to be creative, resourceful, and committed. \u201cI have had to build teams and budgets as well as cultivate and prioritize different relationships. ‘People over projects’ is a bit of a motto for me in so many ways. I am grateful to work with the folks who comprise the fabric of what the New Museum is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since joining the New Museum of Contemporary Art in 2021, Brielmaier has made it a goal to increase support for BIPOC individuals, women, and the LGBT+ community. Brielmaier\u2019s commitment extends to artists and creatives, collaborating to script the next chapter of creativity. She believes artists, with their unique perspective, offer profound notes for writing this next chapter, and she’s eager to amplify those voices.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am focused on paying things forward,\u201d explains Brielmaier. \u201cIn particular, I am very much committed to supporting other women around me, especially those in the creative space like Salome Asega \u2013 the wonderful director of NEW INC at the New Museum, and Hannah Traore, who used to work with me and is now soaring with her new gallery. I could list so many women who are dedicated to their work and to making a difference in the work they put out in the world. I want to lift them up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brielmaier’s transition from idea to execution involves starting with expansive possibilities, rooted in the belief that beginning with grand visions sets the stage for meaningful impact. \u201cThink big!\u201d she says. \u201cI like to start with dreaming and thinking of infinite possibilities, way beyond any ‘box.’ It\u2019s easy to scale down due to budget, capacity, and so on, but it is hard to build up and add on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brielmaier’s journey is a testament to the harmony of entrepreneurship and artistry, where dreams guide the symphony of impact. As she nurtures the culture within the New Museum, her vision extends beyond, reaching a global audience, fostering engagement, and shaping a future where creativity transcends boundaries. \u201cThere is a big world out there,\u201d says Brielmaier. \u201cThe New Museum, while in NYC, is a truly global museum with a huge international audience, and I would love to continue to grow this audience and engagement particularly in places like South Asia and throughout the African continent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brielmaier acknowledges the unpredictability of life, abandoning the notion of strict maps in favor of a more open approach, allowing herself to be guided by love, joy, community, perseverance, hope, and hard work. \u201cI have tried to focus on developing my personal ethos \u2013 my set of personal beliefs and aspirations – and letting this guide me,\u201d Brielmaier reveals. \u201cIt evolves of course, but it\u2019s important for me to keep it in sight.\u201d<\/p>\n
