Stuckism is an international art movement founded in 1999 by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson to promote figurative painting as opposed to conceptual art.〔("Glossary: Stuckism" ), ''Tate''. Retrieved 16 September 2009.〕〔("The Stuckists Punk Victorian" ), Walker Art Gallery, National Museums Liverpool. Retrieved 15 November 2008.〕 By July 2012 the initial group of 13 British artists had expanded to 233 groups in 52 countries.〔("Stuckism International" ), stuckism.com. Retrieved 17 July 2012.〕 Childish and Thomson have issued several manifestos. The first one was ''The Stuckists'', consisting of 20 points starting with "Stuckism is a quest for authenticity".〔(The Stuckists manifesto ), stuckism.com. Retrieved 17 November 2011.〕 ''Remodernism'', the other well-known manifesto of the movement, is a criticism of postmodernism; it aims to get back to the true spirit of modernism, to produce art with spiritual value regardless of style, subject matter or medium.〔(Art Glossary: Remodernism ), about.com. Retrieved 17 November 2011.〕 In another manifesto they define themselves as ''anti-anti-art''〔("Stuck on the Turner Prize" ), artnet, 27 October 2000. Retrieved 17 November 2011.〕 which is against anti-art and for art.〔(Anti-anti-art manifesto ), stuckism.com. Retrieved 17 November 2011.〕 After exhibiting in small galleries in Shoreditch, London, the Stuckists' first show in a major public museum was held in 2004 at the Walker Art Gallery, as part of the Liverpool Biennial. The group has demonstrated annually at Tate Britain against the Turner Prize since 2000, sometimes dressed in clown costumes. They have also come out in opposition to the Charles Saatchi-patronised Young British Artists.〔(Stuckism ), Artist Biographies website.〕〔(The Turner Prize’s most controversial moments ), 20 October 2011, The Telegraph website.〕 Although painting is the dominant artistic form of Stuckism, artists using other media such as photography, sculpture, film and collage have also joined, and share the Stuckist opposition to conceptualism and ego-art.〔"Stuckism International: The Stuckist Decade 1999 - 2009", Robert Janás, (Victoria Press ), 2009, a: p.73 - b: p.64, ISBN 0-907165-28-1.〕 ==Name, founding and origin== The name "Stuckism" was coined in January 1999 by Charles Thomson in response to a poem read to him several times by Billy Childish. In it, Childish recites that his former girlfriend, Tracey Emin had said he was "stuck! stuck! stuck!" with his art, poetry and music.〔Thomson, Charles (August 2004), "A Stuckist on Stuckism: Stella Vine", from: Ed. Frank Milner (2004), ''The Stuckists Punk Victorian'', pp. 7–9, National Museums Liverpool, ISBN 1-902700-27-9. Available online at ("The Two Starts of Stuckism" ) and ("The Virtual Stuckists" ) on stuckism.com.〕 Later that month, Thomson approached Childish with a view to co-founding an art group called Stuckism, which Childish agreed to, on the basis that Thomson would do the work for the group, as Childish already had a full schedule.〔 There were eleven other founding members: Philip Absolon, Frances Castle, Sheila Clark, Eamon Everall, Ella Guru, Wolf Howard, Bill Lewis, Sanchia Lewis, Joe Machine, Sexton Ming, and Charles Williams.〔 The membership has evolved since its founding through creative collaborations:〔("Stuckism: Introduction" ), stuckism.com. Retrieved 18 October 2009.〕 the group was originally promoted as working in paint, but members have since worked in various other media, including poetry, fiction, performance, photography, film and music.〔 In 1979, Thomson, Childish, Bill Lewis and Ming were members of The Medway Poets performance group, to which Absolon and Sanchia Lewis had earlier contributed.〔 Peter Waite's Rochester Pottery staged a series of solo painting shows.〔 In 1982, TVS broadcast a documentary on the poets.〔 That year, Emin, then a fashion student, and Childish started a relationship; her writing was edited by Bill Lewis, printed by Thomson and published by Childish.〔 Group members published dozens of works.〔 The poetry group dispersed after two years, reconvening in 1987 to record ''The Medway Poets'' LP.〔 Clark, Howard and Machine became involved over the following years.〔 Thomson got to know Williams, who was a local art student and whose girlfriend was a friend of Emin; Thomson also met Everall.〔 During the foundation of the group, Ming brought in his girlfriend, Guru, who in turn invited Castle.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stuckism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
