“Unfortunately we are in Berkeley Ca.”

Oh… I realize that at some point I will have to venture over to the Wicked West. Over there there is just too much “Monogamy?” material to not pay it a visit.

“but a few years ago we did an interview for a would be documentary about “radical love” by a female film maker from Florida.”

Was this filmed or just the sound recorded? If filmed would there be any way to view the material to see if it could be included in our film?

“She did not get funding to make her film.”

It’s always a struggle.

“But that interview is a good introduction of my philosophy, etc, of tribal relationship, etc. I am having the interview transcribed tonight and I will send you it.”

Thank you very much.

“Also explore http://www.eroplay.com/Cave/shaman.html“

I just looked into it. Great fun!

hi, Tomi! Sheri Falco is the film maker. Her film was going to be about sex and spirituality.

Hi, Sheri! Tomi is a film maker who is making a documentary about Monogamy, Polyamory , etc. and Penny Arcade for some reason suggested me to him. Since the interview with you captured powerfully our thoughts, philosophy, etc on the subjects, I am having it transcribed to send to him.

Tomi, that is happening. We had some tech issues last night. But we have conquered them! And it is a long interview. But I can see Jen still typing!

During the interview we were videoing them videoing us, which we then played on my public access cable show. We are doing the transcript from our tape. Sheri’s footage should be much more what you would use than ours.

So… Sheri, this is Tomi. Tomi, this is Sheri!

“I have been in a group /tribal relationship since 1973 and have done relationship counselling, etc. would I do?”

You most certainly would! Thanks a lot for responding. I will be back up in New York at the end of Sep. and would be delighted to meet up and chat.

Is there anything I could learn about you and your relationships while I’m still down South?

penny arcade does an impressive series on the N.Y.C. public access channel about influential art /cultural figures of the underground. For some reason she and her partner Steve saw fit to turn my conversation with her into four episodes of the series. And below is the intro that she did about me!… Hey, I don’t have a modest bone in my body!

FRANK MOORE, LINDA MAC, PENNY ARCADE
and THE LOWER EAST SIDE BIOGRAPHY PROJECT

I’m Penny Arcade. What you’re about to see is the Lower East Side Biography Project. We created this program in order to preserve the secret history of New York, in order to stem the tide of cultural amnesia, and in order to introduce you to some amazing New Yorkers.

Most artists are filled with a sense of insecurity at times, and many of the most famous artists in history suffer from self doubt, depression, and a lack of self confidence in their own abilities. Enter Frank Moore. At birth his parents were told he had no intelligence, no future, and would be best off in an institution, forgotten. His parents looked in Frank’s eyes and rejected this cultural expectation. Performance artist, shaman, essayist, thinker and trickster, Frank Moore emerged from a lifetime of rejection and isolation to create intimate communities in his works. “My first stroke of luck”, says Frank “was that I was born spastic, unable to walk or talk. Add to this good fortune that my formative years were in the 60’s, and my fate as an artist was assured.”

I recently met Frank Moore in San Francisco when he generously attended my San Francisco premier of “Bitch, Dyke, Fag Hag, Whore”. Throughout my performance on sex and censorship, the only voice in the room that dared reveal their deepest response during the moments of pain, isolation, humiliation and rejection was Frank’s. Keening unabashedly for all our pain, it was like having a psychic dolphin in the audience. Later I learned what an extraordinarily articulate, lucid and original mind lay behind the man strapped into his wheelchair. And the greatness of spirit, vision and productivity that the flailing limbs, drooling lips and spastic lack of physical control could neither limit nor contain.

What you’re about to see are excerpts from the two hour interview I did with Frank for his public access show in Berkeley, California, hosted by his lovely vibrant wife and collaborator, Linda.

penny and Steve, you captured me! And we revealed the backstage of art [as well as some assholes in art]!

ART IS A BITCH

Someone [an “emerging queer performance artist “] asked:

1. What were the THREE MOST IMPORTANT things you did to get a break and start moving toward recognition as a performance artist?

2. While you were moving toward getting to where you needed to go, how did you make enough money to survive while not taking away TOO much time and energy from your creative work?

3. How do you spend your days now, mostly? e.g., approximately what percentage of each day is spent writing, marketing yourself, planning shows, arranging tours, scoping out and applying for
grants, bringing in outside income, acting as a mentor to other artists, etc.?

4. What do you love MOST about doing what you do now?

5. What do you HATE most about doing what you do now?

I can only answer
art is not a career
not a money maker
but a money taker
an addiction,
a life long master
who does not give
a flying fuck
what I “THE ARTIST”
loves, hates,
what I want do,
where I want to go

the artist’s job is to surrender,
to follow, to melt into art

making money is easy
but the river of art rarely flows
naturally that way
without damming the river up

so keep your day job
get a day job you like doing
because art is your mistress of night
& you ain’t her pimp
she’ll take your money & time
she will take you into the basement
of the unseen

you’ll get old with her
attending her needs
rocking on the porch with her
no goals, no plans, no marketing,
no rush.

Just rocking, just surprises everyday,
just people dropping by,
just floating without knowing,
just doing, just suffering, just enjoying.
Just following.

Just trust the bitch art!

Dirk book

July 3, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Hi Frank,

I would like use your interview with Dirk in book. I got permission for your story but I am not sure about the interview. I would also want to do a couple of cuts in the interview where things Dirk talked about in other interview so the same thing doesn’t get talked about repeatedly and do you have any Beauty Pageant photos we can use.

Thanks, James

* * * * *

sure, you can use pieces of the interview… Especially when Dirk threatened to sue me if he saw the video of the interview anywhere! ;] and we have tons of photos of THE OUTRAGEOUS BEAUTY REVUE. some of them are at http://www.eroplay.com/pgallery/gallery1/gallery1.html. But we have lots more.

Hey Frank, Linda,

I did at last re-edit & reformat your great Berkeley interview with Penny for a 4 part (28 minute each) Lower East Side Biography Project special series. I’m sending you two copies of a DVD with the 4 programs. It really turned out great and we plan to run them some time in July. I’ll let you know when I figure out exactly when. I mistakingly called the programs Shaman’s Den but I reckon that’s not critical for the New York audience and an excellent title in any case.

I will drop DVD’s in the post tomorrow to the address below. Copy freely.

Hope you both are well.
Steve

can’t wait to see it, Steve! It is a high honour to be included in the LOWER EAST SIDE BIOGRAPHY PROJECT!

And, Penny, the next time you come out, we should get together!

In Freedom,
Frank Moore
