Welcome

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

This is an experimental project that explores the intersections between game-playing, storytelling and 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. Somewhat recursively this wiki provides the conceptual framework for the project and some of it's creative outcomes.

All of this is unpacked and broken down in a more detailed description via the "About MOMA" link .

MOMA Weekly News

By David Freedom Rose (aka Rose) - Co-ordinating Artist

  • 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.
