St. George Mash (2005–2006) is an installation by Gareth Moore in collaboration with Jacob Gleeson. It was a small corner shop in Vancouver that was also a museum. You could buy a hodgepodge of things there, it was possible to borrow books and there was an exhibition of things that were not for sale.

For Uncertain Pilgrimage (2006–2007), Moore set off on a one-year trip through Europe and North America without a set route. Contacts he made on the way gave rise to texts, drawings, videos and photographs, but also sculptures, tools and objects.

As an installation for dOCUMENTA (13) , Moore built a “village” from 2010 to 2012 on a field next to the Karlsaue maintenance yard , which could be entered through an entrance cabin. It consisted of a shelter, tool shed, domicile (with stone fireplace), a small guesthouse for the guests, a vanity, a kiosk, meditation center, basketball court, foot bath and much more. Moore built his "village" by hand from discarded materials and lived there from 2010 to 2012.
