This looks a good event:

www.brooklynmuseum.org/community/blogosphere/bloggers/?p=337&akst_action=share-this

Anyone going who wants to get me a print? Would be very grateful.

[Wearology]

It would be my pleasure to pick you up a print from the show - send me a PM and we can coordinate - It's the least I can do for a fellow forum member - peace , Jon

[Wearology]

If anyone else wants me to pick them up a Swoon print at the Brooklyn Museum than all you need to do is send me a PM and we can coordinate the details - they are suggesting that people show up with their own paper , steel , wood , etc and than they will print on it at the museum - this should be fun - I am in New York and I am available on Saturday January 3rd for the event - peace , Jon

[pezlow]

Cheers fella - have sent you a pm.

[speebe]

A very kind offer...

Wouldn't it be lovely to search for a lovely scrap of knackerd old ply wood or small fruit box, akin to something Faile might produce and get that printed.

Love the piece on the top right... very nice!

I made an offer earlier in the day to anyone who wants me to pick them up a Swoon print to please send me a PM and the offer still stands. I have received so many PM's that I would like to send out a mass e-mail in response to Chad , Andy , Matt , Perry , Lawrence & Steve - I received your PM's and I will contact the museum and see how many prints they are allowing per person - I will be attending the event with 3 other family members so maybe everyone can be covered. I have no idea what the cost is - but whatever it is I will charge you the same as the museum as I have no intention from profiting from this transaction - anyone else interested please send me a PM so we can make sure the forum is represented in the proper way - g.d bless Silky and long live www.banksy.info

I should be able to help out those that Jon (wearology) does not.

Jon, can you shoot me an email with details of the event once you talk to them? I think we have to become members for $20 and then pay whatever the prints cost. I could be wrong though.

[Wearology]

I will do some research and find out all the particulars of the event - I will post the results tomorrow -

Jon & akbape...

It does look as though you require a $20 membership for this event.

I'm sure those that contacted you, (including myself) will happily cover any costs you incur for materials to be printed and membership etc.

;D

[pezlow]

Yup I will cover everything too, and a little something for your trouble

[neale]

Yup , same for me, all expenses covered no problem

[Deleted]

Are they by Swoon? have i misunderstood the info page on the site? (In advance sorry if i sound thick)

[pezlow]

The design is by swoon but the printing will be done by someone from her studio. A cool little project, especially if you can print something on to a bit of found wood or fabric or something.

[spiiiiiike]

Bring your own paper for a print...a great idea!

[speebe]

From the updated video from the 1stfans site it looks as though they were prepared with a variety of materials and surfaces collected from a place called 'Materials For the Arts', a non-profit organisation that gives away recycled supplies to non-profit arts and education organisations.

fLooks as though there will be a variety of materials for Swoons team to print on to, ranging from carpet, canvas to road signs.

Looking forward to seeing how this has gone today.

I have done a bit of research as this is the deal with the Swoon print. You first need to join a social network called 1stfans online for a fee of $20.00. By registering with this organization you will be entitled to 1 print or multiple prints not defined. The museum is usually open from 11AM to 6PM on Saturdays but today it has extended hours to 11PM. The prints will be applied by Swoon's assistants / not Swoon on items that people bring in for them to print on. They will not begin printing until after 5PM as they keep referring to evening time on their site. An additional fee to enter the museum is recommended as well. They will be having events for the entire family from 5PM - 11PM on the hour every hour. I have never been to this museum before and my only reason for going is to have fun with the family and provide my brothers and sisters across the pond access to something they would not otherwise be privy to.

looks great, I think I'll go along tonight. maybe have a hunt for some nice found material today.

I went to the event this evening - the line started around 6:30 PM and they let people in around 7:30 PM- they originally offered 4 print options 3 in black and 1 in white - at around 8:30 PM they added new screens that were not previously advertised - It was great to see the print process in action. People brought their own paper , metal , wood , canvas off the wood , and the museum provided paper , cloth and cardboard for those that didn't bring their own. The event was very disorganized but the girls working there were all young , pretty and artsy so most of the men in the crowd like me didn't mind. We were allowed 1 print per person but a few people I noticed were able to get more than one.

Jon,
Did you manage to take any photos of the prints or printing process.... or pretty, artsy girls??

Looking forward to hearing more about this event and hope to see more images of the prints made.

& on behalf of the forum members who pestered you and akbape to try and pick up a print for forum members on this side of the pond...thanks for your effort, it's greatly appreciated.
