it's a weird replay of lots of different reactions/responses to modernism from the 1920s and 1930s. it's not their fault the official avant-garde is so stuck in the 1910s.

I was going to say dud but then I realised I'd confused them with that group who used to boo at contemporary music things. I can't remember what they were called but they were very irritating.

Looking at some of the Stuckist stuff I think classic and dud in just about equal measure.

Both. I love the art, but I'm not so keen on listening to them going on about all the other modern art they don't like.

The first I heard of the Stuckists was via Momus on realILX. Since then, they've been popping up everywhere. For m'self, they'd have a lot more credibility if the Stuckists musical counterparts were fixated on early 20th century folk music. While not classic, not dud either.

The Hecklers! That was what they were called. Sorry to interrupt.
