For 10 years, the Stuckists have been untouchables for their criticism of Britart and their demonstrations against the Turner prize. But in February Billy Childish, the group's co-founder (and now former member) was exhibited at the ICA. In May, Stuckist artist Edgeworth Johnstone's work was placed on display in the Tate Modern Turbine Hall for the gallery's 10-year anniversary. Now Mark D (aka Mark Randall) has two prints in the Royal Academy Summer Show, and the word Stuckist has appeared for the first time in the group's 11-year history on the RA website. "Gritty and witty", writes academician Eileen Cooper about Randall's work Duchamp Is Dead and All Adrift at Sea – and it's quite a fillip for the artist who was previously best known for being told to "Go fuck yourself" when he tried to buy a work from Stella Vine. He took it as encouragement, somehow.Hugh Muir Chris PritchardArtist's statement. See here.Found ObjectsAn entertaining thought experiment by David Bailey. See here. |
