DESCRIPTION:I Get Results! Frank Moore for President 2008\nJanuary 20–March 6, 
 2020\nOrganized with Keith Wilson\n\n“Ah, yes! I did spend two years 
 running for president as a write-in candidate! It is one of my most 
 effective performances! It inspired a lot of people, forced changes in Laws 
 in several states, attracted a lot of mainstream European press coverage, 
 and gave me a platform on which to address issues. SEE, I AM NOT JUST A 
 HUNK!”\n\nFrank Moore (1946–2013) was an artist, poet, painter, shaman, 
 and teacher based in Berkeley, California. In 2008, and alongside running 
 mate Susan Block, a sex educator and author, he mounted a campaign for 
 president of the United States of America. A political novice who used a 
 wheelchair and communicated primarily through a head-pointer, Moore 
 intrinsically challenged norms of appearance, ability, and communication 
 simply by way of showing up.\n\nWhile Moore was primarily known—and 
 somewhat infamous—for his performances exploring erotic and emotional 
 connection, he stumped for a Berkeley-friendly platform not unlike that of 
 Senator Bernie Sanders. Along with universal basic income, health care, and 
 education, Moore was behind election day as a paid holiday, an end to the 
 buying and selling of debt, and a feast of further reasonable positions. 
 After considerable effort from Moore’s longtime collaborators, he and 
 Block were official write-in candidates in 25 states, each with its own 
 byzantine bureaucracy.\n\nI Get Results! presents archival video footage, 
 including public appearances and platform pronouncements, alongside 
 official campaign documentation, press, and merchandise, all set within a 
 patriotic installation modeled after the Moore/Block info-table assembled 
 for events around the Bay. The exhibition opens on Inauguration Day, 2021, 
 and remains on view for six weeks.\n\nReserve an appointment to view I Get 
 Results! at Cushion Works:

 is wheelchair accessible; the building's restrooms, however, are 
 not.\n\nPlease mark your calendars for a public conversation with Linda Mac 
 and Mikee LaBash, Moore's closest collaborators, on Monday, February 1, at 
 5pm PST.  Look for the link forthcoming at:

 based in San Francisco whose work has been exhibited at Sundance, the 
 Berlinale, South by Southwest Film Festival, the U.S. National Gallery of 
 Art, documenta14, and the Museum of Modern Art. He teaches in the Film & 
 Media Department at UC Berkeley and has an MFA in film production from the 
 University of Texas-Austin. Wilson is presently working on a documentary 
 film about Frank Moore.\n\nSpecial thanks to Linda Mac, Mikee LaBash, Alexi
