Welcome

Welcome to the Museum of Moving Art - the museum that comes to you.

This is an experimental project that explores the intersections between (1) game-playing, (2) storytelling, and (3) art-making framed in the context of community arts participation. Think of it as street art with theatrical tendencies generated by people playing together creatively. There's a more detailed description via the "About MOMA" link .

MOMA Weekly News

By David Freedom Rose (Rose)

  • The task of creating the small decorative gallery that sits front & top of the Share Chair pop-up gallery has lead down a tangential rabbit-hole of photography, cameras and printers (read a lot of technical learning). I have acquired a new 2nd-hand camera (Nikon D3100) and an inkjet printer with built-in scanner (ET-2810) that has re-fillable ink tanks. The latter was needed essentially to print out quality photographs for the miniature gallery and the camera because I have become increasingly interested in taking photographs and my mobile phone camera just wasn't good enough.
  • I have been taking lots of photos around where I live, Coburg in Victoria, Australia. These will be included in later shows at the Share Chair pop-up gallery. I have also acquired a heat press as I want to get into dye sublimation printing onto T-shirts, mugs, etc for promotion but also for exhibition pieces. Other ideas for shows at the Museum are also taking shape.
  • The other important things that have been happening are networking and writing. I have been attending the weekly Messy Kittens Crafting Corner gatherings at the Catalyst Social Centre. This has been very good for my health and wellbeing. I have met some lovely people @ Messy Kittens who have encouraged me to bring MOMA to Catalyst (expect more developments in that direction very soon). Will and I have had a collaboration session around writing which has led to work revamping the Story Garden as the background fantasy narrative in which the Museum exists begins to really take shape. There is a fuller report in the #story-garden channel at our Discord Server.
