Stuckism
If you don't already know about Stuckism take a look.
It is a group of artists affiated by their apparent dissolousion with much of contemporary gallery art. For instance, their manifesto states: Artists who dont paint arent artists, Art that has to be in a gallery is not art.
I sympathise with some of their concerns, particularly the often over intellectualisation of art, but I do not want art to be restricted by the medium in which it is made.
There's also a sympathising Stuckismphotography group that was founded 4 years after the original painting stuckists.
Take a look at the Stuckism site and form your own opinion.
