Blessed & Blasted: Group Hangman 07.07.1997

This was produced by Billy Childish and his associates before they formed The Stuckists.

I went along to a few Stuckist exhibitions and events, but preferred this manifesto to The Stuckists’; their’s seemed mere reaction when applied to artists of lesser stature than the soon-to-exit Childish.

Yet The Stuckists were worthwhile in their verbalisation of discontent at Britpop Blairite Britain’s rampant YBA smugness (and gave rise to the track with the ever-pertinent title Art Or Arse?).
