The Stuckists, like the YBA, are pretentious as fucking shit. Not only do they perpetuate the exclusive, hierarchical nature of art in contemporary society, they indulge every possible opportunity to make art nothing more than a highly stratified capitalist market. They are literally scum.

Their manifesto is full of generic garbage that we've seen before. Corporations of all trades throw shit like this at us daily to advertise their products. (http://www.stuckism.com/stuckistmanifesto.html)

The surrealists pretty much summed it all up with this statement: Stuckism is " ... a childish kicking against modernity that fails, pathetically, to challenge the underlying realities of capitalism, of the capitalist art market, of material, psychological, psychic and spiritual repression."

If any group could fit the stereotype for the pretentious, rich art snobs who say shit like "you just don't understand art," it would be the Stuckists and the YBA.

"Artists who don’t paint aren’t artists." -Stuckist Manifesto

In conclusion, the Stuckists are iconic reactionaries in the art world, seeking to revive a trite and familiar trend in art. They are "STUCK! STUCK! STUCK!" in the wholly exhausted artistic realm of modernism, which would place them (ironically) in the realm of postmodernity.

the essence of a movement emphasizing the importance of figurative art over conceptual art is actually a concept itself

a weak concept

I'm not denying that Stuckists are pretentious as shit, I'm just saying that I prefer the philosophy of "Artists who don’t paint aren’t artists." to saying this is art

I said both were pretentious. I'm not supporting the YBA over the Stuckists, I'm saying they're both ostentatious, self-righteous assholes.

But to say that anything other than paint isn't art is asinine. The reason they are both so goddamn pretentious is because they both think that they alone know what the most experimental, avant-garde artistic experience is and they push it as if they were competing to sell a product.

Truly, the whole game is pointless. Their art is a reflection of the comfortable upper-class lifestyle they live, mocking and challenging a paradigm on a strictly superficial level from within. For them to imply authority on what is or isn't art is an insult to artists everywhere. When you treat art like a commodity that can be judged on quality you are a usurper, contributing to the systemic domination of humans by humans. Art (as defined by Google) is "the products of human creativity," and creativity is simply "the ability to create." If you utilize art to figuratively destroy the work or spirit of others, then it is you who should not be an artist.

tl;dr: "fuck you"

buy an art

[mauserclock]

If art is going to be put in a gallery, and written about, and praised, and bought, it should naturally have worth. If you're going to make something that, while creative, has absolutely no skill put into it, then why would you put it in a gallery and try to sell it to people
