Aww…Frank, it’s not your fault that the people love your more for your naked sex appeal than your artistic braininess ;)

Xoxox

Suzy

ah, Suzy, I have accepted my fate as a sex star a long time ago! Instead of embracing you and me because we bring viewers to the channel, they are embarrassed about having us... Even though viewers always are excited and joyful when they run into me on the street.

today at BTV

Corey was at Berkeley Community Media today, "BTV", turning in the next batch of Dr. Susan Block shows, and he was finally able to ask the woman who now works at the front desk there what she meant when she said (months ago when Frank was in the hospital): "the infamous Frank Moore".

"Well," she said, "Whenever I tell people where I work they say, 'You mean the place where that naked guy in the wheelchair has sex?!'" She was wondering when/if Frank tapes his shows at the BTV studios, because she has never run into him or his group there? Corey told her that we tape the show at the house ... Well, that would explain why she never sees us! She also wanted to know what Frank's show was like, because she has never actually seen it ... Corey told her about the performances, The Shaman's Den shows, etc. ...

The BTV tech guy Jeffrey chimed in too. He said that they just got these new BTV hoodies, and now whenever they're wearing them around town, the first thing people ask is: "Oh, is that the place that has the naked guy in the wheelchair?!" He tells them, "Yes, it is ... ... we do have other shows too ..." "Yeah," the front desk woman added, "We have cooking shows, gardening, gospel ... " But no one asks about those!

"No," Jeffrey said, "Its always 'the naked guy in the wheelchair'!"

* * * * *

I AM B-TV! but I know how they feel. The erotic stuff is only a fraction of what is on my show. I interview people from all cultural /political /whatever from the community and beyond. I have live bands of all kinds... And short films of other artists... Etc.! But all the people talk about is THAT NAKED GUY IN THE WHEELCHAIR HAVING SEX WITH MYRIADS OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN! well, I know what people want!

How Obscene is This! The Decency Clause Turns 20

On the 20th anniversary of the Congressional decision to require the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to consider "general standards of decency and respect" in awarding grants, the National Coalition Against Censorship and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School collaborate on two panel discussions and a video interview project evaluating censorship and arts funding today.

Prominent artists, non-profit arts organization directors, art dealers, and founders of alternative spaces examine issues related to how the introduction of the decency clause in particular, and the culture wars in general, have affected funding, free speech and self-censorship, and how attitudes towards notions of decency and respect for the values and beliefs of the American public have changed over the past twenty years.

Panel Discussion I
Survival vs. Autonomy: Public Funding of the Arts, Free Speech and Self Censorship
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
The New School, Tishman Auditorium
66 West 12th Street
Admission: Free

Have arts organizations modified their programming in the aftermath of the culture wars? What alternative funding sources and strategies have they had to employ? How does the commercial market relate to the issue of decency and community standards? What is the future of government funding for arts institutions and individual artists?

The panel examines how the introduction of the decency clause and culture wars over arts funding in general have contributed to a growing distinction between conservative and avant-garde institutions. A number of alternative organizations have sprung up that simply forfeit - or are prepared to forfeit - government funding. Panelists include founders of new alternative spaces that seek autonomy from government funding, leaders of art projects that have been supported by the NEA, and key figures in public art funding.

Moderator:
Laura Flanders, GritTV

Participants:
Beka Economopoulos, Founder of Not an Alternative and No-Space Gallery, Brooklyn
Bill Ivey, Former Chair of the NEA (1998-2001) and Director of the Curb
Center for Art, Enterprise, and Public Policy
Magdalena Sawon, Owner and Director, Postmasters Gallery
Nato Thompson, Chief Curator at Creative Time, author of Seeing Power:
Socially Engaged Art in the Age of Cultural Production
Martha Wilson, Founding Director, Franklin Furnace


Panel Discussion II
Decency, Respect and Community Standards: What Offends Us Now?
Wednesday, September 22, 2010 - 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
The New School, Tishman Auditorium
66 West 12th Street
Admission: Free

This panel looks at changing attitudes towards notions of decency over the past twenty years. It addresses how representations of nudity and sexuality have changed in contemporary art, and proposes a redefinition of what is considered offensive or inappropriate under our current political climate. The panel brings together artists whose work provoked the culture wars twenty years ago and those who deal with taboo topics today.

Moderator:
Laura Flanders, GritTV

Participants
Wafaa Bilal, censored in Iraq and the U.S.
Holly Hughes, one of the NEA4
Trevor Paglen, provocateur and experimental geographer
Carolee Schneemann, pioneering feminist artist



Background
In 1989, Senator Jesse Helms introduced legislation to ban federal funding of "obscene or indecent art." Adopted in October 1989, the Helms Amendment bestowed onto the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) the responsibility to define obscenity. To enforce the new amendment, the NEA established an "obscenity pledge," requiring artists to promise they would not use government money to create works of an obscene nature.

Now referred to as the Culture Wars, a heated debate burst out within and outside the art world. (Among the organizations resisting the new legislation was The New School of Social Research, which turned down a NEA grant*.) In November 1990, Congress amended the obscenity pledge by replacing it with the decency clause, stating that the works sponsored by the NEA must meet "general standards of decency and respect for the diverse beliefs of the American public." Under this clause, the NEA withdrew funding to award recipients whose work did not comply with this standard.

In 1992, four artists who later became known as the NEA Four, Karen Finley, John Fleck, Holly Hughes and Tim Miller, sued in federal court in response to the withdrawal of their Performance Artists Fellowships. In June 1993, the NEA settled out of court with the artists by awarding them the grant money in question. The artists, however, decided to continue litigation against the clause after the settlement and the case made its way to the United States Supreme Court in National Endowment for the Arts v. Finley. The 9th Circuit determined the decency clause was void because it violated the First Amendment's general prohibition against content- and viewpoint-based discrimination. On June 25, 1998, the Supreme Court announced its decision and upheld the clause while declaring the language "advisory" and meaningless.

As a consequence of the Culture Wars, the NEA eliminated funding for individual artists, passing on the responsibility to comply with standards of decency to the exhibiting institutions.

* The New School's case was based on the claim that the pledge acted as prior restraint and therefore breached the university's First Amendment rights. Before the constitutionality of the prior restraint argument was decided in New School v. Frohnmayer, the NEA released the university from its obligation to sign the pledge.

hey, raindog!

here is a story for you... Yesterday we went to my hearing aid place... An old time place right out of the fifties with cowboy shit on the Walls... It is run by an old guy who's a Master at what he does... A people person. He is the only place in the East bay who takes medi-cal, which is why we travel to Oakland.

Yesterday his assistant [apprentice? Son?] was there for the first time that we were there. When we came in, he pointed to me and said "Frank Moore, you are famous! I read about you in this poetry book!" he waved your book On/Off the Beaten Path (2008) [Btw, I don't have a copy... In fact it was the first time that I have seen it!] with a section about your visit to the Shaman's Den July 1999... About our jam, etc. [Btw, I got cerebral palsy, not M.S... I am not fading away!]

a small world! And the underground ain't that underground!

matt, thanks for your kind and powerful words!

Hello Frank,

I only met you once. I appreciate having met you. My mind slowed down and my heart opened a bit. The mind slowed and the heart opened. I know that you are fine. When I think of your situation, I hope that you get better and that I can experience your presence again. I hope that you get better for selfish reasons---I want to see you again, But I know that you are fine and always will be and always have been. I love your poetry and you are evidence of love, peace, and understanding in the universe. You have shown me to myself and as these ghosts meet each other and try to shake each others hands and they notice that they are reaching for a hand that is an illusion, that is a dream and they begin to suspect that the hand with which they are reaching may also be a projection, a dream. And they say to themselves, if I am only a dream, perhaps I can simply let go of doing and just watch. God is with(in) you.

Here is me hoping to see you again,

Matt

from Russia with love

Dear mr.Moore,

this spring I used to live in Berkeley and one sunny morning my self-conscience had been thorn apart due to a small poster I seen. That was the Erotic Friction - and I was nearly beating myself that my ticket back to russia was on a date, couple of days earlier. I'm writing a column for a glance mag here and so eager to get a small interview.

hope I'm not fired after,

how about it?

all bests from Moscow,

Peter Silaev

hi, Peter! I am always saying that fliering is the first ring of a performance! You are the amazing proof of that! I would love to be interviewed by you. It may take some time for me to answer because I am recovering from a six week hospital stay. so I Am slow typing. But I am game! Also if you explore http://www.eroplay.com/Cave/shaman.html, you will find a lot about my work and me. I will be glad to answer your questions.

Re: i typed this (K.A.)

Frank, I am so happy to read your voice again!

The updates have been good, if difficult reading because of the suffering they describe. At the same time, the love and strength that the updates describe have been very heartening and, as always, inspirational. The strong bonds that you guys have formed and spiritual boundlessness that you guys practice are so beautiful.

I wish you increasing strength and endurance, my friend.

Re: expanding (Suzy)

That is such a beautiful thing, Frank! Very inspiring to all, but especially us community-oriented, child-free folks :-)

It also reminds me of a new book I’m reading, just had the author on the show, called “Sex at Dawn: Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality.” And its all about our tribal origins that molded us for 190,000 years before the advent of farming and possession and repression that just took hold about 10,000 years ago. Here’s a link to the show, if you’re up for listening: http://theater.drsusanblock.tv/wordpress/sex-at-dawn/

So glad to see you’re up to writing! Your extended, always “expanding” family of friends and luvers gives you a big cyber-hug!

Just in time for the next credit crunch and as the main cultural institutions

Appealing to a primal desire of free expression without limits, POW!POW! POW! is, today, one of the few remaining uncensored performance festivals in the US.

Now an internationally renowned festival, this third edition of the original POW! will bring together an array of local and international multigenerational action artists more willing to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

RE: [instagon] TRIP 23 - NEW TRACK - FREE DOWNLOAD

Hey Frank,

Browsed google and saw you will be airing my documentary once more in september on the btv channel of yours :)

I'm more than honored :)

by the way, I am almost done half of "L'idéaliste" : drums are nearly finished, bass are recorded and guitar will be today and finished soon ; keys is not really an issue and linda's voice sampling ( plus all the other samples I've decided to integrate in the track ) will take some time I guess.

I guess I'm a turtle lovin' RenArt: slow ( have been carrying my "house" on my back for 6 years now ) ; will win the race ? It is not the issue here and turtles don't always win against bunnies but merit of taking on the challenge is something by itself.

This is why I feel we're Idealists, Frank :)

about reed college

(to RK:)

if your daughter wants freedom, reed may the way to go.

My story about reed, as I remember it... In the late eighties, [at the height of the political correctness] either their drama department or the disabled group had booked me. But some "feminists" heard about it and put pressure to cancel me, equating me with PLAYBOY [although my performances were too radical for the PLAYBOY CHANNEL] because of the nudity! Of course the group, being liberal, caved in!
