We, however, rejoice be- cause we think it is funny’.

Don’t get them, thank god. The Stuckists are enemies of art I chanced recently on the website of Stuckism International. I’m glad to see this art movement’s opposition to most 21st century media does not include a suspicion of digital technology - it’s a well-designed and efficient site. Efficient, that is, at putting out their ill-conceived, rabble-rousing nonsense. My interest in Stuckism has never been very profound, so I had no idea it could boast such a large collection of manifestos. No other art movement today makes such use of this classic 20th century literary form. For that matter, is there any other art movement to- day? Any other -ism? Art in this century is so plural and various that artists generally seem able to get their ideas across without the aid of ideologies. To which the Stuckists reply: that’s because a single ideology, the deadening, anti-art ideology of Turner prize art, with its ready- The cheap slogans and hysterical rants of the Stuckist art mades, its videos and its acceptance of absolutely anything at all, movement do not promote figurative art, they simply make it (except figurative painting), holds art in an iron grip, and kills it. harder for creativity to thrive.

You should come to art with an open mind. This is not easy; <http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2009/ the hysterical rants of the Stuckists make it harder. The ready- oct/01/art-stuckist-manifesto> made can be a redundant cliche - or a poetic revelation. Painting can be the most majestic of art forms - or an ugly mess. To say “painting good, ready-made bad” is not a view of art - it’s a preju- dice. There are huge variations in the uses artists have made in the last 90 years or so, of found objects and to dismiss all these as det- rimental to art is just not an argument. It’s a surrender, a nervous breakdown. The Stuckists are enemies of all they claim to love. Too much an- ger makes a stone of the heart. My stuckist portrait: I’m flattered It’s lovely to see your own portrait in an exhibition – especially when it has been painted by Raphael. The Renaissance master is no slouch when it comes to the digital age. From the heights of Parnas- sus he has taken my photograph from this blog, stuck it onto one of the mourners of Christ, written on my forehead ... oh, wait, wait a minute, I don’t think Raphael is being nice about me at all. And he isn’t Raphael, either, but stuckist painter Darren Udaiyan, whose Renaissance travesty The Betrayal of Art – by Man can be seen in the stuckist exhibition The Enemies of Art, at Jesus Lane Gallery, Cambridge from today. In the painting (assuming it is the same as the image they emailed me), I am portrayed alongside several other supposed luminaries of the unstuck art establishment, burying art. Not only that but the title of the exhibition is a quote from an attack on stuckism that I published here. The stuckists are enemies of art, I said. And they’re repeating it. I remember some people who really are part of the art establish- ment explaining to me once that when they want to diss someone, The stuckists have retaliated to a post in which I called they simply freeze them out. The stuckists obviously don’t believe in them enemies of art by naming their new show after it. that (repellent) strategy because they’ve given me quite a lot of free promotion here, haven’t they? Um, thanks The only problem is, their story doesn’t add up, their satire is mis- < http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/jonathanjones- placed. My face is indeed ugly and putting it on a Renaissance blog/2010/mar/17/art-portrait-stuckism > painting is indeed cruel ... to the Renaissance. It’s exactly the kind of crassness that made me call them enemies of art in the first place. Instead of lamenting beauty’s supposed destruction, why don’t they create some beauty? Instead of obsessing about my ugly mug, why not paint something like a vase of flowers or a cloud and just get on with it? Lucian Freud did, and his figurative art is not exactly defeated by the modern world. Anyway – thanks for the homage, guys, and who knows I may even pop to Cambridge to see if there’s anything more to this show than polemic. Stuckists demonstrate against “mind-numbingly tedious, pretentious and vacuous” Turner Prize In the time-honoured rebuttal to the Tate’s Turner Prize show, seasoned rebel art group The Stuckists have taken to the steps of Tate Britain to lambast the competition with a racy Turner Prize Hell campaign for 2010. Dishing out images of a rakish model in a leather miniskirt carrying a message suggesting Tate boss Nicholas Serota “needs a good spank- ing”, the demonstrators included a clown and a top-hatted tour guide among their unimpressed ranks. They offered badges and pamphlets mocking the Prize to visitors as the exhibition of work by the four finalists opened to the public. “It’s like watching a TV comedy show parody of contemporary art,” said co-founder Charles Thomson, who called the Prize “an excruciatingly painful presentation of mind-numbingly tedious, pretentious and vacu- ous exhibits.” “The obvious response is that of a lady last year, who asked for her money back, as she’d paid to see art and there wasn’t any. Model behaviour from The Stuckists at the Turner Prize “The demonstration outside is far more entertaining, artistic and infor- Article by Ben Miller mative.” < http://www.culture24.org.uk/art/ART309698 > The alliance has protested against the Prize since 2000, having been founded by 13 artists in a bid to promote figurative painting and oppose conceptual art. Their alternative exhibition, An Antidote to the Ghastly Turner Prize, will feature 29 artists and offer visitors “small squares of Blu-tack” at a cost of 10p a piece. http://youtu.be/XRm1EhG7ltA http://youtu.be/SI4lnKbIT1k Stuckism is a branch off Remodernism Remodernism revives aspects of modernism, particular- ly in its early form, and follows postmodernism, to which it contrasts. Adherents of remodernism advocate it as a forward and radical, not reactionary, impetus. Stuckism is an international art movement founded in 1999 by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson to promote figurative painting in opposition to conceptual art. The ‘Stuckist photographers’ are an independent group founded by Andy Bullock and Larry Dunstan with a state- ment of endorsement for remodernism. an attempt to introduce a period of new spirituality into art, culture and society to replace postmodernism, which Mark D. Victoria Beckham: America Doesn’t Love Me. they said was cynical and spiritually bankrupt An “Underage Stuckists” group was founded in 2006 with their own manifesto for teenagers by two 16-year olds, Liv Soul and Rebekah Maybury, on MySpace.[13] In 2006, Allen Herndon published The Manifesto of the American Stuckists, the content of which was challenged by the Los Angeles Stuckists group. “No subject matter is too pathetic or too important.” Wolf Howard Portrait of my Great Grandfather John Stokes, Boxer and Bare Knuck- le Fighter, Joe Machine 2008 “I paint in a lean-to garage. I usually paint from sketches - mainly from life. I paint people I know or knew - it’s heavily autobiographical. I use about five colours and mix them. Paintings are finished in a day or two. I’ve smashed up about half a dozen with pure anger at not being able to get what I want. Painting and writing have been far better for me than any of the mistakes I made in stealing and fighting.” I will explore the idea of a ‘Stuckist Room’, possibly within the room currently used for temporary exhibitions. Stuckists do not do ‘installations’, nor are they interested in work that is ‘site specific’ but the idea of taking ownership of a room and decorating it with Stuckist work is full of possibilities.

  • The Authenticity of Ambiguity: Dada and Existentialism
    THE AUTHENTICITY OF AMBIGUITY: DADA AND EXISTENTIALISM by ELIZABETH FRANCES BENJAMIN A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ii - ABSTRACT - Dada is often dismissed as an anti-art movement that engaged with a limited and merely destructive theoretical impetus. French Existentialism is often condemned for its perceived quietist implications. However, closer analysis reveals a preoccupation with philosophy in the former and with art in the latter. Neither was nonsensical or meaningless, but both reveal a rich individualist ethics aimed at the amelioration of the individual and society. It is through their combined analysis that we can view and productively utilise their alignment. Offering new critical aesthetic and philosophical approaches to Dada as a quintessential part of the European Avant-Garde, this thesis performs a reassessment of the movement as a form of (proto-)Existentialist philosophy. The thesis represents the first major comparative study of Dada and Existentialism, contributing a new perspective on Dada as a movement, a historical legacy, and a philosophical field of study.

  • How to Write an Avantgarde Manifesto (A Manifesto) Lee Scrivner the London Consortium April, 2006 Founding
    How to Write an Avant­Garde Manifesto (A Manifesto) Lee Scrivner the london consortium April, 2006 To launch a manifesto you have to want: A. B. & C., and fulminate against 1, 2, & 3. Tristan Tzara, Dadaist Manifesto, 1918 Founding I have been up all night, drafting this manifesto. But no unbounded pride buoys me up, only caffeine and the expectations of my comrades. Earlier today these comrades, now all sucking their pillows in sleep, sent me an outline of everything they wanted, a rough sketch of grand plans “to destroy the old world of 1, 2, & 3”—normal stuff for radical or fringe groups like ours. But—blast! I have tumbled a full tumbler of coffee on their manuscript, which they had inexplicably penned with a dull quill and some homemade India ink. (Those guys. Always trying to be antique.) Now their words are a murky morass of shifting, competing signifiers, a grapheme gruel in midnight hues. And I am left without a clear blueprint. I hardly know where to begin. Since it’s getting late, and I’m getting desperate, I’ve decided to pilfer the manifestos of other radical or avant­garde groups—Futurist, Vorticist, Surrealist, Dadaist, Unabomberist, etc.—for ideas of what kind of diatribe is expected of me. Yet 2 looking over these screeds now, each seems at turns effective and ineffective, utterly convincing and utterly ridiculous. And while such antitheses might be perfectly acceptable to me, I fear my co­conspirators would not approve. So I will try my best to pinch the best from each text and cast out the chaff.

Stezaker spent over 30 years teaching, first at Central St Martins, and then at the RCA, before retiring in 2005. Following his 2011 Whitechapel Gallery retrospective, he won the Deutsche Börse Prize in 2012, and has recently been preparing for the 19th Sydney Biennale and various other museum and gallery shows. Intrinsic to Stezaker’s stellar late career rise is Jake Miller, the director and founder of the approach gallery in London, who began representing him in 2004. Miller had been aware of Stezaker whilst a student in the ‘80s and he had always loved the strange narratives within the simple re-appropriation of found images. He says: ‘...when I put my mind to representing a great, but overlooked, British artist, John was my first choice. When meeting him and realising the depth and consistency of a body of work spanning 30 years it was an honour that he agreed to my desire to represent him.’ 4 www.f22magazine.com CONTENTS l 14 >> EDITORIAL IN CENTRAL LONDON The Photographers’ Gallery has hit its stride.

  • HANDY HINTS the Stuckists (Est
    A Stuckist Manifesto HANDY HINTS The Stuckists (est. 1999) ant-anti-art The first Remodernist art group Handy hints for students and others on some of the thinking behind Stuckism and the development and theory of Remodernism. The Stuckists are a small independent group of artists who believe passionately in the painting of pictures. They are a model for like- minded people round the world who wish to stand up for the heart and soul of art. Remodernism heralds a new epoch and is the antidote to the spiritual bankruptcy of Post Modernism. Remodernism stands for content, meaning and communication - subjectivity, emotional engagement, integrity, love, enthusiasm and a spiritual renaissance in society, art and the creative life. 1. Students should be inspired by and study the artists who they love as this is their gift to us to help us develop our own vision. (In Japanese there is a single word for to learn and to copy). 2. The language of the visionary artist is by nature always subjective, limited and partial, this is its power not its weakness. Personal truth, sought for with integrity, communicates to the inner world of us all and therefore contains the whole. 1 3. Objectivity is only useful in discerning the truth of our subjectiveness. 4. The naming of names and the demarcation of the arts. It is not fascism to name a brick a brick, a shoe a shoe, a horse a horse or a painting as art. Standing on the ground is not a type of flying. Calling walking walking does not devalue walking or suggest that walking is some how inferior to jumping up and down.

  • 'Search Engine Artist' Hacked Her Paintings Into Frieze Los Angeles's Google Results
    AiA Art News-service How One ‘Search Engine Artist’ Hacked Her Paintings Into Frieze Los Angeles’s Google Results Gretchen Andrew's paintings may not be under the white tent, but her internet project will definitely be seen by those looking for the big event. Caroline Goldstein, February 12, 2019 Photo courtesy of Gretchen Andrew, 2019. Type the words “Frieze Los Angeles” into the Google image search bar. What you will find is that the first row is dominated by thumb-sized interior photographs of a white-walled gallery with paintings lining the wall and a dappled grey floor. This does not—yet—raise any red flags. The interiors look like they could well be from Frieze, the art fair that opens its inaugural Los Angeles edition this week. If you look closely enough, you’ll even notice that the knobby grey flooring is actually a style known as “frieze carpeting.” The URL linked to the images is frieze-los- angeles.com. It all seems to check out! Except that these are not photos from a gallery showing at Frieze Los Angeles. They are part of a digital performance piece and an example of what California - based artist Gretchen Andrew calls “Internet Imperialism.” Search engine results, with Andrew’s circled.

The Back Story Andrew graduated from Boston College in 2010 with a degree in Information Systems, from there catapulting into the upper echelons of Silicon Valley where she worked at both Intuit and Google.

  • THE STUCKISTS (Est. 1999) "Your Paintings Are Stuck, You Are Stuck
    THE STUCKISTS (est. 1999) "Your paintings are stuck, you are stuck! Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!" Tracey Emin Against conceptualism, hedonism and the cult of the ego–artist. 1. Stuckism is the quest for authenticity. By removing the mask of cleverness and admitting where we are, the Stuckist allows him/herself uncensored expression. 2. Painting is the medium of self–discovery. It engages the person fully with a process of action, emotion, thought and vision, revealing all of these with intimate and unforgiving breadth and detail. 3. Stuckism proposes a model of art which is holistic. It is a meeting of the conscious and unconscious, thought and emotion, spiritual and material, private and public. Modernism is a school of fragmentation — one aspect of art is isolated and exaggerated to detriment of the whole. This is a fundamental distortion of the human experience and perpetrates an egocentric lie. 4. Artists who don't paint aren't artists. 5. Art that has to be in a gallery to be art isn't art. 6. The Stuckist paints pictures because painting pictures is what matters. 7. The Stuckist is not mesmerised by the glittering prizes, but is wholeheartedly engaged in the process of painting. Success to the Stuckist is to get out of bed in the morning and paint. 8. It is the Stuckist's duty to explore his/her neurosis and innocence through the making of paintings and displaying them in public, thereby enriching society by giving shared form to individual experience and an individual form to shared experience. 9. The Stuckist is not a career artist but rather an amateur (amare, Latin, to love) who takes risks on the canvas rather than hiding behind ready–made objects (e.g.
