Stuckism
The Stuckists are an international art movement that was founded in London by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson as an alternative to the promoted by Charles Saatchi Young British Artists in 1999.
History
The term Stuckism resulted from a dispute between the artist Tracey Emin and Billy Childish, her then-boyfriend. Your paintings are stuck, you are stuck! Stuck! Stuck! Stuck! - Emin threw Childish ago, his art and he had gotten stuck, because - in contrast to today's successful concept artist Emin - stuck to the painting.
In the 1980s, Charles Thomson took over the publishing house Victoria Press London, where the book " Stuckism International. The Stuckism decade 1999 - 2009 "was published.
In the late 1990s founded Thomson together with the musician Wild Billy Childish the artists group The Stuckists that the return to painting undertook. In public actions they protested against the mainstream art of the established collectors and curators. In 2000, Thomson organized with the Childish an exhibition as a protest to the prestigious Turner Prize. One year later there was an event organized by the Stuckists protest. 2002-2005 Thomson led a gallery, the " Stuckism International Gallery" in which he exhibited work of the Stuckists.
The Stuckists encouraged artists from other fields and other countries to participate in the Stuckism movement. Meanwhile, numerous groups of artists outside the UK call Stuckists, including painters alongside representatives of literature, music or photography.
