THE
UNDERAGE STUCKISTS MANIFESTO
WE ARE UNDERAGE STUCKISTS AND WE WANT STUCKISM TO BE
DISCOVERED IN THE YOUTH !
heres the start to our manifesto (it is yet to be finished and edited):
1.art
taught to under 18's crushes creativity; its always skills over ideas,
if your art is pretty you get praise, this although is not embracing
conceptual art.
2.teachers treat real ideas and emotions like they are dangerous
3.We hate over clean, sterile, uncomfortable uncreative art rooms
with hard plastic tables
4.Teenagers are not all ‘emo artists’ we don’t all draw pictures of
our slit wrists , we can express emotions better than that, we are
the future artists. We don't listen when society or whoever tells
us how to feel, and how to express our feelings
5.'We still understand and appreciate the integrity of art and we
wont let that disappear, we want to educate people our age so there’s
less danger of saatchi wasting his money in years to come, like an
untreated cockroach infestation it'll just grow unless we do something
about it
6.We encourage people our age to appreciate art more instead of being
something almost ‘embarrassing’, its a healthy way to express your
emotions and something to do, a possible way to distract them from
their materialistic lifestyle. Instead of the importance media has
approached us with of being obsessed with the way be dress and look.
Even when this does happen and the person feels ‘creative’ it can
lead to shit conceptual art. Medias impact on teenagers and children
is killing the individual. Grouping together and being ‘emo’ or ‘indie’
or a ‘goth’ doesn’t make you individual.
7.Art is not a stupid whore to be taken advantage of, and exploited
for purposes like extreme financial gain, and media attention. We
believe that young people should be taught to respect art now, to
keep art from being treated like a stupid whore in the future. We
respect art, and understand it's importance. We deeply love what we
do.
8.The understanding and ideas of art are not taught properly and lead
to intollerance and right wing views, due to this many kids grow up
thinking that art is 'boring' or 'easy', this too can be to blame
for daily mail reading parents (or generally ones who are too right
wing) and right wing or really lazy art teachers
