“…He’s wonderful and hilarious and knows exactly what it’s all about and has earned my undying respect. What he’s doing is impossible, and he knows it. That’s good art….” L.A. Weekly

“Merging improv, erotica, entertainment, religion and ritual, Frank Moore – self-styled shaman, world-renowned disabled performance artist, and 2008 presidential candidate ….” – East Bay Express

Resisting “the easy and superficial descriptions…, Moore’s work challenges the consensus view more strongly in ways less acceptable than…angry tirades and bitter attacks on consumer culture.” Chicago New City

“If performance art has a radical edge, it has to be Frank Moore.” Cleveland Edition

“Transformative…” Moore “is thwarting nature in an astonishing manner, and is fusing art, ritual and religion in ways the Eurocentric world has only dim memories of. Espousing a kind of paganism without bite and aggression, Frank Moore is indeed worth watching.” High Performance Magazine

“Surely wonderful and mind-goosing experience.” L.A. Reader

RE: update (Suzy)

Good for Dr. Good! What a great success story.

Max is home again, recovering very nicely and sends his love. Have a great performance! We will also be going “on with the show” this Saturday at the Speakeasy. Speaking of which, hope to see you guys sometime soon here at our beautiful new space.

Peace through pleasure

RE: update (Rafael)

Glad to hear you’ve got a good and Humane doctor ( man, I’m starting to read “confessions of an economic hitman from Perkins and it just kind of pushes you back to activism a bit 🙂

Frank, as i’m allways consulting you before such great directing decision, and as I was slicing your election speech, I cristalized in my mind the way I wan’t the voice collage to come out :

Now, I wan’t to create phrases out of sliced words like “I”, “am”, “not”, “political”, “education”, “you”, “or”, “military”, etc…

Somewhat of an Aiku 🙂

Therefor, this collage would be the representation of a “force”, rather than a political campaign per say.

Ex: We will shut down nuclear generators, stop arms race, prejudice, etc…

I’ll be using the “We” instead of “I”, in order to represent that “force”, that “community”.

The end of the track will contain “Frank for President” : just thought that we are in 2010 NOW and that what you fought for DO NOT BELONG TO A MUSEUM ! 😉

It is, of course, impressionist as you allready know that I’m this kind of composer ;

I lately though of remastering the track ( when finished ! ) in the future and ad some some brainwaves editing ;

Stay as well until next time 🙂

funny… Years back the ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO hired me to do a lecture and some other stuff. We didn’t know anything about the place. But it was all expenses paid kind of gig [a rarity!]… So… They put us in a fancy hotel. So the day before the lecture we walked to the lecture hall to check it out. It was in a bigtime museum! And all through the museum were my writings [to promote the lecture]. The piece they chose to xerox was where I described museums as graveyards for dead art! I LOVED THE IRONY!

about last night

you can count on one fucking hand how many performances I have cancelled over the past forty years. But, as DIRTY HARRY wisely once said, A MAN JUST HAS TO KNOW HIS LIMITATIONS!

Re: update (Eda)

what a story! what a GREAT story! Good for you (haha)! i’m really so glad. wish i could have a doctor Good in NY.

it’s gotten cold here, but lovely. we still picked a few raspberries in our backyard. after alan and our upstairs neighbor/tenant buried her cat there today (poor kitty had feline leukemia and deteriorated suddenly and quickly while she was away 4 wks taking care of her mom in Minneapolis, where btw, it got to 11 degrees.)

so, time for me to get ready for bed so i can get warm from Alan’s fur.

again, so glad. lots of love, eda

Re: update (Michael Diehl)

Hi Frank and Linda

Well it is hard to keep a good man like you down for long. I have been struggling with some of my own physical and mental disabilities but part of what gets me through the dark tis the season to be jolly is hearing you on Crack of Dawn singing Christmas songs. Here’s to your long life. You are an inspiration of how to beat the odds by being even odder!

Ho ho ho,
Michael Diehl

well, Michael, this places a great sacred responsibility over my head! But I will do my duty tonight! Keep in mind I just had my trach out, so my voice is untested! The odds are more odd!

Frank Moore
