OSWEGO COUNTY – An engaging talk and book release, “Making Friends With Wild Dogs, by Ron Throop marking the 25th year of Stuckism”, an art movement founded in London in 1999 that addresses contemporary issues in art. Throop, a leading Stuckist in the United States, highlights his journey with this “radical” art movement. The writing and publishing of the book was funded in part by CNYArts.
There will be two presentations in Oswego County:
October 17, 7-8 p.m. at the Art Association of Oswego, 30 Barbara Donahue Drive
October 22, 7-8 p.m. at SUNY Oswego Penfield Library, classroom 215
The first 15 students at each venue will receive a free book.
Stuckism is a democratic art movent. It is a powerful tool to help obtain social equality in art. No CV (Correctly Vetted) document necessary. The work speaks for itself.
For too long the art establishment has kept culture divided by race, gender, age and socioeconomic placement. The Stuckist manifesto provides ideas through practice that make the bulk of dysfunction obsolete.
While this is mainly a book for artists, it also sets a bar for new ideas on art and artifice to be debated by everyone.
