Agent Brothergeek travels to museums and art events throughout the nation to offer his mascot services pro-bono. Once on location, a mascot costume is constructed with scrounged materiel from neighborhood thrift shops and dumpsters. The shamen-like transformative nature of the costume allows museum attendees and staff to cheerily engage with the off-the-street wack job in the get-up!
The Museum Mascot took a detour through low-culture at Sociometry Fair 2008. A quad-fold display (aka cardboard box) was adorned with brochure dispensers, flyers and is schwag from the FREE table. In addition to hangin’ on the otherwise gang controlled corner in front of The Fair, the Mascot handed out Sociometry Fair materials at Millennium Park and the Puerto Rico Day parade!
