1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for September 2009: Duke Riley
Duke Riley has been on our minds a lot over the past month. I’ve received a crash course in his work and the man himself as a result of the Museum’s involvement with his naval battle “Those Who Are About … Continue reading
Why 1stfans is not a “young” Membership
One of the questions we often get about 1stfans is whether it is our “young members” group. Most NYC Museums have “young patrons” groups targeted towards people aged 21-40, with annual dues ranging from $100 to $1000. The idea behind … Continue reading

The Heat is On
Here at the Brooklyn Museum, we’re never one to shy away from inter-museum competition of all sorts. I’ve blogged before about how art museums and sports have more in common than one might think, and we’ve already seen just how … Continue reading
1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for August 2009: Lauren McCarthy
The 1stfans Twitter Art Feed artist for August is Lauren McCarthy, a young artist who has already worn many hats. A self-described “artist/programmer/designer/person,” Lauren’s work explores the intersection of physical and virtual space. She has invented a tent that can … Continue reading
1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for July 2009: Ranjit Bhatnagar’s “Exquisite Sonnet”
Judging by the number of re-tweets Nick’s “Poor SpumoniNick’s Almanack” project received, I think it’s safe to say that 1stfans enjoy Twitter Art Feed projects that mix language and wit with a little interactivity. This month, we ramp up the … Continue reading
1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for June 2009: Nick Fortunato
Nick Fortunato is the second artist selected via the open call for the 1stfans Twitter Art Feed. Similar to An Xiao’s work with Morse Code, Nick’s proposal for the feed explores the delivery of news and evolution of communication through … Continue reading
Museum Membership and the N.B.A.
I’ve been watching the N.B.A. a lot lately, and not just because the playoffs are going on and I’m a huge basketball fan. I’m also watching the N.B.A. as a league, which is, like many businesses, struggling right now. I’ve … Continue reading
1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for May 2009: Tracey Moffatt
Did you know that we have 1stfans residing in 17 countries around the world? Outside of the United States, we have the most 1stfan representation in Australia, so we couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that Australian-born Tracey Moffatt is … Continue reading
Not just another Saturday night…
It was about 4:30pm on Saturday when Shelley called me. Interestingly enough, I was here at the Museum giving a talk to our Student Guides on Membership and leading a group from my college’s alumni association through our Caillebotte exhibition. … Continue reading

1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for April 2009: Jonathan Lethem
When we announced Mary Temple for the 1stfans Twitter Art Feed in February, one of the things that Shelley mentioned was our collaboration with the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh. If we can find a way to feature artists whose work … Continue reading
1stfans Meetup for March 2009: Artist Matt Held
When 1stfans launched with the Swoon printing event on January 3rd, it was a pretty crazy night. Though Shelley and I didn’t get to meet every 1stfan who attended, we were able to meet a few. One of the people … Continue reading
1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for March 2009: Joseph Kosuth
If nothing else, Shelley and I think the 1stfans Twitter Art Feed is a pretty cool concept. We readily admit that we have no idea how the art is going to turn out, but at least it’s a chance for … Continue reading
1stfans Twitter Art Feed as a Membership benefit
One bit of confusion that we have begun to see (<– 4 links) regarding the 1stfans Twitter Art Feed is the notion that we are “monetizing” twitter because we are “charging people” to access the feed. I think there are … Continue reading
1stfans Twitter Art Feed Artist for January 2009: An Xiao
In the same spirit that we asked Swoon to launch 1stfans in person (that is to say, with the Museum’s existing community in mind), we are delighted to announce that An Xiao is going to be the first artist on … Continue reading
Swoon Print for 1stfans on January 3
Though the launching of 1stfans is being done mostly online, one of the critical goals of the group is to get people to come and enjoy the Museum in person more often. 1stfans is different from of our other Membership … Continue reading
