===Old text from 1st draft===
Venues are not ''venues'' in the conventional sense of the word, as in a location where people gather. Rather, MOMA's venues are '''made structures, installations and art-spaces''' that are taken to a location by a Curator in order to engage community members with the ''work'' and the artworks that it contains. They are mobile exhibition forms that are artworks in and of themselves.

As an example let's look at [[MOMA I]], the first of the Museum of Movable Arts "Venues" and one that is currently under construction.

The Protocols of MOMA provide a conceptual framework that governs the creation of 3 types of MOMA Venues (these are the pop-up installations/structures that go into the streets & community places to engage people with the arts & crafts that they contain).

As the Museum of Moving Art is still in the early stages of its development and gestation, only MOMA I and MOMA II are currently under construction, while MOMA III (which is somewhat larger and more complex) is still in the research and development stage.

The following sections provide a brief introduction the 3 venue types, each with a link to a detailed page dedicated to each of them.

MOMA I

This venue takes the form of a "book sculpture". As the Museum of Moving Art is an evolving and participatory project, the protocols anticipate and allow for others to make more of these books.

The first one is currently under construction in Nambucca Heads, NSW, Australia and is being made by artist David Rose, in collaboration with fellow students and teachers at the TAFE NSW arts program held at The Youthie. It is called MOMA I (Vol 1), the second is being made privately by David and will be called MOMA I (Vol 2) - any subsequent iterations of MOMA I will be named (Vol 3... etc).

Design features include:

  • a box structure to enable the inclusion of small 3D pieces
  • an included or accompanying book to describe the work, the exhibitions, curatorial notes and a catalog of exhibited artifacts
  • a system of stewardship (Honorary Curators)
  • space for other artifacts to be added
  • a secret destination

MOMA I is made with one completed exhibition curated by the makers of the venue. They have left space for a second exhibition to grow as the venue travels from place to place....
