Stuckism is an art movement that began in London, England, in 1999. In 2000, Melbourne artist Regan Tamanui started the first international branch of the movement. As of 2010, there are seven Australian Stuckist groups,〔("Stuckist groups" ), stuckism.com. Retrieved 17 June 2010.〕 who have held shows—sometimes concurrently with UK activities—received coverage in the Australian press and on TV, and also been represented in UK shows. The Stuckists take a strong pro-painting and anti-conceptual art stance, and were co-founded by Charles Thomson and Billy Childish. ==Chronology== In October 2000, Regan Tamanui founded the Melbourne Stuckists,〔("International Stuckists" ), Walker Art Gallery. Retrieved 12 March 2008.〕 the fourth Stuckist group to be started and the first one outside the UK (there are now 127 groups in 32 countries). On 27 October, he staged the ''Real Turner Prize Show''〔 at the Dead End Gallery in his home, concurrent with three shows with the same title in England (London, Falmouth and Dartington), and one in Germany, in protest against the Tate Gallery's Turner Prize. Besides Tamanui, the other initial members were Justin Grub, Ben Blanchette, Malcome Mmackie and Dave Freeman Rose. A subsequent line-up was Basil Kouvelis, Justin Grubb, Ben Frost, Nigel Stein, Daniel Gorzadek, Stephen Sperling and Dennis Roper. Stein, an RMIT art student, was prompted to join the group after Karen Ward was given the inaugural $105,000 Helen Lempriere Award for her minimal sculpture ''The Hut'', derided by him as a "Wendy House". Tamanui said, "There are some people who shit in a tin. Is that really art?" In May 2001 Tamanui, Stein, Grubb and Kouvelis were represented with 24 international groups in the London show ''Vote Stuckist'', so named because Thomson was standing as a candidate in the United Kingdom general election, 2001, as a Stuckist candidate against the then-Culture Secretary, Chris Smith. In November the Melbourne Stuckists staged a show ''Houdini to Hofmann'' at the Chiara Goya Gallery, which included some UK Stuckist work for the first time. Kaye Blum made a short documentary on the group, ''Art Gets Unstuck-Up''.〔("Art gets unstuck-up" ), Australian Film Commission. Retrieved 12 March 2008.〕 The film is structured around the artists reading lines from the Stuckists Manifesto written by Thomson and Childish. It was first shown at the ''Jaffas Down the Aisle'' film festival in Melbourne in October 2001, then in 2002 at the ''International Film Festival of Fine Art'' in Hungary and the ''Asolo Arts Film Festival'' in Italy, where it was nominated for best student short. In 2001, Graham Wilson, born and bred in Gunnedah, New South Wales, founded the second Australian group (and the first Stuckist sculpture group), the Newcastle Stuckist Stonecarvers. In December 2001, The Stuckist demonstration outside the Turner Prize at Tate Britain, London, was broadcast on Australian national TV news. In 2002, Godfrey Blow started the Perth Stuckists (Western Australia). In July, along with Melbourne Stuckists he was shown at ''The First Stuckist International'', which opened in the Stuckism Gallery, Shoreditch, London. In March 2003, Tamanui was exhibited in ''Stuck in Wednesbury'', the Stuckists' first show in a public gallery, held in Wednesbury Museum and Art Gallery, England. In October 2002, Tamanui opened the Stuckism International Centre (Australia) with an ongoing exhibition of work, as well as the first international Stuckist show in Australia, ''Stuck Down South'', at the FAD Gallery. This included founding Stuckists, Charles Thomson, Ella Guru and Sexton Ming. (Like the London gallery it has now ceased operating.) In September 2004, Blow exhibited in the movement's first major show in a national museum, ''The Stuckists Punk Victorian'' at the Walker Art Gallery during the Liverpool Biennial.〔("Godfrey Blow" ), Walker Art Gallery. Retrieved 12 March 2008.〕 He returned for the next Biennial there in 2006 to participate in ''The Triumph of Stuckism'' show and symposium at 68 Hope Street Gallery. 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 in Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
