Redirected from Anti-stuckist
The Stuckists formed as an alternative to the Charles Saatchi[?]-patronised Young British Artists (also known as "Brit Art"). The group are defined by their Stuckist Manifesto that places great importance on the values of traditional artistic skills over the popularity of "easy" installation pieces, and oppose modernism (at least as it is presently practiced in art).
The Stuckists later declared that they aimed to replace postmodernism with remodernism.
The Stuckists have become more active in recent years and have broadened their ideological basis. They even put forward a Stuckist candidate, Charles Thomson, for the 2001 British General Election.
Childish later left Stuckism but remains committed to its principles
In July 2002 Thomson opened the Stuckism International Centre and Gallery in Hoxton, London. Other Stuckists have opened Centres in Australia, America and Germany. There are now 50 Stuckist groups round the world.
This event attracted some publicity within the United Kingdom, largely as a result of the notoriety of Emin's original work. However, no coherent anti-Stuckist movement has since emerged, despite other isolated instances of people declaring themselves to be "anti-Stuckist", such as the filmmaker Andrew Kotting[?] who released a manifesto declaring "The work should prove anti-Stuckist, genuinely post- modern, contingent and ad hoc in its thinking."
