Description: Originally a lecture Frank Moore presented at N.Y.U. in 1990, Art of a Shaman explores performance and art in general terms as being a magical way to effect change in the world. Using concepts from modern physics, mythology and psychology, Moore looks at performance as an art of melting action, of ritualistic shamanistic doings/playings. By using his career and life as a "baseline", he explores this dynamic playing within the context of reality shaping. Art of a Shaman is filled with performance photos in full color, capturing the feeling of being at the performances.

Description: Chapped Lap is Frank Moore's first slim book of poetry, featuring poetry from the 1990s and 2000. First published in 2000 as a xeroxed and stapled "chapbook", as the title suggests, this small collection is dense with pieces that have become classics. Not only did Frank perform these poems for years, but they were also often used in his interactive performances, read by audience members, and read by fellow poets, always adding new levels to the frame in which they were performed.

Description: The documentation in these volumes are the result of a series of interviews, conversations, and sessions between Frank Moore and Corey Nicholl, as part of Moore’s shamanistic apprenticeship. These interviews explore Moore’s history in enormous detail and depth. Most of these interviews took place in the living room of Moore’s house in Berkeley. The interviews were recorded on a little Radio Shack cassette tape recorder with a microphone. The first tape is from July of 1995, and the last tape recorded was in November of 1996.Also included in these volumes are interviews with people from Moore’s life history, especially people who still lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, who were part of the cast of the Outrageous Beauty Revue and the intimate community that Moore created during the late 1970s and early 80s. These interviews mainly occurred in 1996, although a handful of them were recorded in 1997 and 1998. Some of these sessions consist of Nicholl pulling original archival letters, essays, articles, calendars, etc. out of file folders and reading the contents together, with Moore adding commentary and explanation along the way. There are also sessions where Moore and Nicholl would watch videos and talk about them. During some sessions, Moore “interviewed” Nicholl in an effort to show Nicholl how to do an interview. The beginning sessions are presented in a kind of narrative format, with titles and descriptive paragraphs, telling different stories from Moore’s history. Nicholl transcribed the sessions directly into this format when he first started. This proved hard to maintain and Nicholl transitioned into simply transcribing the sessions as they happened – the narrative structure fell away. No attempt has been made to organize this material. It is presented in its raw form in the hope it will be valuable for future researchers interested in Moore’s life.

Description: In this, the first collection of prose by “one of the U.S.'s most controversial performance artists” (P-Form Magazine), Frank Moore explores his deep and uncompromising vision of human liberation and art as a “battle against fragmentation”. In the essays, writings and rants of Frankly Speaking, roughly covering the period from the late 1970s until his death in 2013, Moore reveals his plan for the complete political and social transformation of American society (see Platform for Frank’s Presidential Candidacy 2008), stirs up the “art world”, urging fellow artists to truly live their calling and not accept censorship (see Art is Not Toothpaste or The Combine Plot), pulls the reader deeply into the heart of magic, responsibility, shamanism, play, and expanded sexuality (see Dance of No Dancers and States of Tanpan), and much much more. Frank Moore's essays have been praised by political activists, authors, artists and cultural icons like Bill Mandel, John Sinclair, Penny Arcade, Annie Sprinkle and many others for their comprehensive and revolutionary world-view. The reader gets to join Frank's joyful and fearless digging into the core issues of human experience to get to something deeper: intimacy, tribal community, freedom. Frankly Speaking also gives us a peek into the history of these pieces, which have been widely published all over the world, from the smallest of underground zines to the most established mainstream art journals. But Frank always focused on the small, personal, intimate level, and always fought to stay “underground”. As he writes in Mainstream Avant-Garde?: “The underground is where the real freedom and the real ability to change society are to be found.”

Description: In 1997, shaman/performance artist Frank Moore was contacted by Russell Shuttleworth, a then University of California, Berkeley graduate student, working on his doctoral dissertation. The thesis was a research study to help understand how men with moderate to severe cerebral palsy experience and interpret their search for intimacy and sexual relationships in the face of significant social and cultural barriers, or as Frank called it, “The Sexual Practices of Bay Area Men with Cerebral Palsy.” He wanted to interview Frank for this thesis. That interview quickly segued into 12 years of Russell interviewing Frank about Frank's life. Meanwhile, Frank encouraged Russell to live his dreams, which resulted in the discovery of Russell’s alter-ego Dr. Gruve, who dj'd a show on Frank’s LUVeR internet radio station, and played the harmonica in Frank's Cherotic All-Star Band. They did 88 interviews in all, even continuing via Skype when Russell moved to Australia to teach there. Russell is now a Medical Anthropologist PhD and a member of the faculty at Deakin University in Geelong, Victoria Australia. Inside this book are the full transcripts of these interviews.

Description: The Frank Moore posters and other drawings by Michael LaBash. If you lived in Berkeley, California from 1990 through 2013, you were likely exposed to the artwork of LaBash through the posters of shaman/performance artist Frank Moore. LaBash was Moore’s live-in graphic designer and all-around ”tech guy”. Most of the work in this book was created for Moore’s performance work and books, and for the zine, The Cherotic (r)Evolutionary, that they published from 1991-1999. It also includes work LaBash created for other artists like Barb Golden and the band, Mutant Press.

Description: Frank Moore's second book of poetry, the beautiful full-color SKIN PASSION, is jam-packed both with his widely acclaimed poems and with striking reproductions of his oil and digital paintings, which have been exhibited around the U.S. and Canada. Moore's powerful and inspiring poetry dates from the early 1990s through 2012, while his big, bright oils date back to 1965, when he first started painting in high school with a brush attached to a helmet. His digital paintings date from the mid-90s, when he started painting with the mouse keys and his head pointer on the computer. The cover art features an arresting blow-up of one of these vibrant rich digital pieces, "Toni". As Moore wrote for the first edition of Skin Passion: "You don't even need drugs!" Moore was notorious for exploring and expanding freedom, magic, tribal reality, intimacy and deep human connection beyond the accepted limits, sex and love, play and passion, censorship in all its forms, and exploding the concepts and taboos that fragment and isolate us from each other, from ourselves and from unlimited possibilities. The poems in this collection reflect this full spectrum. Some of his poems have been seen as political, addressing the current state of things, but these pieces always bring the issues of the moment into a universal context (see Boundaries Kill, Locked In/Locked Out and That Goddamn Weed of Life). In the same way, his tribute poems to friends, students, and fellow artists take us deeply through the personal into the essence of being human together. In poems like "Falling Into Skin", erotic human surrender opens vast intimate worlds within worlds. Many of the poems express this common theme, that everything comes from within the "smallness" of human intimacy and "being enough" for each other. "Within small caves/ of love,/ Personal trust,/ And passion/ Beyond taboo." (from the poem Fuse). Moore's paintings take us on the same journey in colorful oils and with digital brush, pulling us into the same smallness: images from childhood, monsters, superheroes, nudes, and even his yearly xmas cards! Moore's xmas poem is included, "The Season of Hidden Hope", which was performed for many years on KPFA in Berkeley. Skin Passion also features a number of poems that condense Moore's basic approach to life and art into a poetic infusion. Poems like Tribal Performance, Art of Reshaping Reality, and River Vision show Moore's deep and uncompromising vision of human liberation and art as a "battle against fragmentation".

Description: In 1991, Kyle and Luna Griffith of S/R Press, who were at that time publishing shaman/performance artist Frank Moore’s book, Cherotic Magic, suggested that he start a zine. Thus was born The Cherotic Revolutionary (TCR). The name of the zine later morphed into The Cherotic (r)Evolutionary. Here is how Frank described TCR in his first “Frankly Speaking” column in issue 0. The “Frankly Speaking” column appeared at the beginning of each issue. “TCR is a journal of the edge. TCR is an offensive movement or measure, offering alternatives to the fragmentation, isolation, personal helplessness which is actively promoted by the combine of power systems. TCR is anarchical, based on the personal responsibility to reshape reality into a more human, trusting, loving reality, full of fun and pleasure. TCR is not a reaction. It is a magical act of enjoying life. It is a journal of and for people who are doing this magical act. … we finally have a channel of communications among the personal revolutions ... otherwise known as mutations ... which has always been the main fuel for evolution. Now we magical misfits know we are not alone, that there are others out/in here/there feeling, thinking, trying, doing similar things. This just by itself should speed evolution up.” Later he wrote in “Frankly Speaking” for issue #5: “I need to thank the zine community for all the kind reviews of TC(r) over the years. I only wish they would not classify TC(r) as a sex zine. We do have a lot of sex in us. We will never shy away from that. But we really are an Anarchist/ Arts/ Avant-Garde/ Experimental/ Art/ Beat/ Cartoons/ Community/ Counter-Culture/ Alternatives/ Culture/ Dada/ Surrealism/ Erotica/ Essays/ Ethics/ Feminism/ Fiction/ Gay/ Humanism/ Humor/ Interview/ Lesbianism/ Libertarian/ Literature (General)/ Magic/ Non-Fiction/ Philosophy/ Photography/ Poetry/ Prose/ Psychology/ Satire/ Sex/ Short Stories/ Spiritual zine ... or a life on the edge zine ... for short.” Nine issues of the zine were published during the 1990s featuring articles and poetry by Frank Moore, Annie Sprinkle, Veronica Vera, Carol Queen, Karen Finley, Noni Howard, Jack Foley, Ana Christy, Lob, Robert W. Howington, Dorothy Jesse Beagle, Linda Montano and many more. The zine also included lots of artwork and photos by the likes of H.R. Giger, Annie Sprinkle, John Seabury, Tony Ryan, Brian Viveros, T.R. Miller, Sean Bieri, Claudio Parentela, LaBash and many others. The first three issues (0-2) were published by S/R Press. In 1993, Frank took over publishing through his nonprofit, Inter-Relations. Frank put the project “on indefinite hiatus” in 1999 because he had just started a 24/7 live internet streaming “radio” station, Love Underground Visionary Radio, luver.com, that was demanding more and more of his time.

Description: If you wandered the streets of Oakland or Berkeley, California from the mid-1970s through 2013, you likely saw one of Frank Moore’s performance flyers on a telephone pole. The ‘Temescal Period’ is so named because of the ongoing performance series Moore did at the Temescal Art Center in Oakland, California from February 2009 until his death in October 2013. At the Temescal Art Center, he found a long-term home for his performance work. He called these performances “experiments in experience / participation performance”. Each performance was a 3-hour improv happening with the audience as the cast. Anyone attending one of these events witnessed a master performer at the peak of his skills. Frank could quickly assess the audience, draw them into the performance, and create an intimate space where everyone felt safe and connected in a way they were not accustomed to, but that felt “normal” and that also exposed the isolation many feel in our current culture. This book presents any available written documentation, paraphernalia along with a selection of photographs from this performance series. Also included are the other various performances by Moore during this period, including the POW!POW!POW! Festivals and four performances at the Center for Sex & Culture in San Francisco. This volume closes with, “What A Life! A Frank Moore Biography”. It features a collection of writings by people who knew Frank that were requested by the editors for use in a possible biography. Available as full-color, 716-page hardcover or PDF.

Description: Over the years, Frank Moore had attempted to find someone to write his biography but it never worked out. In 2010, he decided to start working on it himself. This book is the working document Frank created that he was working on, when he had time, up until his death in 2013. It covers his life up until around 1989. Frank constructed it primarily with the conversations he had with anthropologist Russell Shuttleworth from 1997 through 2009. The complete transcripts of those interviews are available in the book How to Handle an Anthropologist published in 2019 by Inter-Relations. He also used excerpts from his mother, Constance (Connie) Moore’s autobiography, excerpts from his own writing, in particular from Art of a Shaman, and an interview by Sheri Falco for a film, “Sex and Spirituality,” that never was made. No attempt has been made to organize this material. It is presented in its raw form, as Frank left it, in the hope it will be valuable for future researchers interested in Moore’s life. Includes two large photo galleries.
