Stuck up North!
1st Northern exhibition of Stuckism
The Stuckist art group was founded at the end of January 1999, by Charles Thomson and Billy Childish to endorse painting as the most viable contemporary art form and restore values of authenticity, content, meaning and comunication in art.
'your paintings are stuck, you are stuck! Stuck!, Stuck !, Stuck !' Tracey Ermin
The public promotion of the group is a reaction against a decade dominated by the Brit Art elite and the perverse practise of toying with
anti-establishment notions by the establishment.
This exhibition has been put together by Paul Harvey ( the first Tyneside member of the Stuckists ) and Charles Thomson who now runs the
London gallery. Newcastle Arts Centre is pro painting and supports this show independent of the Arts Council. http://www.stuckism.com
