Art Worker is a subaltern memoir that casts a light on a classic period in cultural history: the ’70s and ’80s in downtown Manhattan. From art critic, to video artist, to radical organizer and then academic, Moore played several roles in the seething scene of art galleries, nightclubs, and small publications.

The book is in three parts:

1 – the author’s life as a critic, then as an artist with Collaborative Projects, up to the Times Square Show of 1980.

2 – the author’s film and video productions with Colab’s Potato Wolf cable TV series, then the foray into artists video distribution with the MWF Video Club

3 – Colab after the Times Square Show, the East Village art gallery movement, related artists organizations like the Rivington School; 21st century coda
