On January 3rd the Brooklyn Museum will launch a new "Socially-Networked Membership" at their First Saturdays called 1stfans, which will offer paperless benefits through outlets like Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter. Benefit numero uno: "Artists from Swoon's studio will be on hand to help launch the initiative...They will create prints on found paper to be provided that evening by new 1stfans." (Keep in mind that this will likely mean Swoon studio artists will be working off a stencil she created, but she may not be there herself.) Want one? Want to also get exclusive updates via the museum's new Twitter art feed? Gotta pony up 20 bucks for the annual membership fee first. TONY notes that the social networking platforms will bring "updates to your Facebook or Twitter accounts, and the possibility of corresponding with other members and museum staff through these sites." You'll also get the benefit of skipping the ticket line for movies.
