Untitled[edit]

Writing work and curatorial / organizing work should be separated.

Writing work should include House Magic and writing on squats. See https://sites.google.com/site/housemagicbfc/ for more info on House Magic.

MWF Video Club should have its own wikipedia page... this page and most Colab artist pages refer to MWF, and the MWF is now being historicized through the XFR STN project. More info: http://collaborativeprojectsarchive.wikispaces.com/A+brief+history+of+the+MWF+Video+Club.

And, I'm not objective about this, so won't make any change about it... but Alan Moore did not "organize" the XFR STN. He initiated it. The XFR STN is an ambitious project, which was organized by Alan Moore, Coleen Fitzgibbon, Andrea Callard from Colab, Johanna Burton and Tara Hart from the New Museum, Walter Forsberg from MIAP and me. If it keeps moving to further institutions and fulfills its potential to reform the history of film and video, then it may warrant a wikipedia page of its own. I would just suggest that this page change "organized XFR STN" to "initiated XFR STN"

I read the above, and agree. "XFR STN" at New Museum was proposed by me, and developed by New Museum with me and Alexis Bhagat. The exhibition answered the museum's needs, and reflected the MWF Video Club project insofar as it was collectivized to the greatest possible extent. Now, I have read all the biographical procedures stuff. Even so, I am uncertain how to proceed. So on "talk" page, let me say I would love to add the following, which is absent from this entry: subhead: European Research

body text: Moore published the zine “House Magic: Bureau of Foreign Correspondence” annually from 2009 to 2016. “House Magic” began as an exhibition at ABC No Rio in 2009. Moore's research continued in collaboration with the SqEK group (Squatting Europe Kollective). In 2014 he received a Warhol Foundation arts writer grant, and published Occupation Culture: Art & Squatting in the City from Below about his researches in 2015. That same year he co-edited an anthology of texts on European social centers, Making Room: Cultural Production in Occupied Spaces.

Moore has recently written “How to Do Now,” on the municipalist political movement in Spain for the Chicago magazine Lumpen, and blogs about the movement at his long-time blog Occupations & Properties.
