[thingist] "Doing Time in the NY Art World"

[w]

A presentation of a new memoir, and a conversation about those days
past when rents were low and bohemia lived.

The book is Alan W. Moore, Art Worker: Doing Time in the New York
Artworld
Designed by Lamm & Kirch for JoAAP, Leipzig 2022

>From a wet-behind-the-ears art critic in 1974 to a precarious academic
25 years later, this memoir charts some 30 years
in New York City’s art world. The book casts a raking light on a
classic period in cultural history – the ‘70s and ‘80s in 
downtown Manhattan. Moore lived through NYC’s changing scenes – sedate
Soho, video art TV, No Wave punk, hip-hop, 
squatter riots, and the shows and places that broke the multi-cultural
art world of today.

The author wrote for art journals, then joined the artists’ group
Colab. Colab organized the Real Estate Show, 
Times Square Show, and the MWF Video Club, and spun off several art
stars. Moore was in on all of it, meanwhile working 
for the scene monthly East Village Eye. In 2000 he limped back to grad
school, and took a PhD.

 He is the author of Art Gangs and Occupation Culture .
