MANIFESTOS BY BILLY CHILDISH AND CHARLES THOMSON

THE STUCKISTS
(3.8.99)
This is the original 20 point Stuckist Manifesto, stating (point 4) 'Artists who don't paint aren't artists'. Reported in The Times (26.8.99) as 'a revolution waiting to happen', and the starting point of the international Stuckist movement.

AN OPEN LETTER TO SIR NICHOLAS SEROTA
(26.2.00)
This is not, despite press descriptions to the contrary, a demand for the resignation of the Tate Gallery Director (that was the title of the show), but an addressing of ideas relating to Postmodernism, Conceptualism and Dada. Sir Nicholas wrote back (in person) that he had "no comments to make on your letter, or your manifesto 'Remodernism".

Serota's reply can be seen here.

REMODERNISM
"towards a new spirituality in art"
(1.3.00)
A period of art, culture and society to replace Postmodernism's current cynical superficiality, marketing, hype and spin-doctoring with deeper values of content, substance, meaning and communication. An identity to include allied groups and individuals beyond Stuckism.

HANDY HINTS
(11.4.00)
This includes much material left out of previous documents, particularly Remodernism, and gives a fuller explanation of various aspects. It should be noted that point 5 regarding sculptors almost followed point 4 ("Artists who don't paint aren't artists") in the original Manifesto and was only omitted on grounds of pedantry.

OTHER GROUPS

THE MIAMI STUCKISTS
(15.4.09)
13 points, mainly from the original Stuckists manifesto with point 13 from The Other Muswell Hill Stuckists and a new point 12: "The Stuckist should have fun! The Stuckist should enjoy the process of art and celebrate it. The act of creating art is an otherwise meaningless one if the artist does not derive any sort of enjoyment from it."
