	Scotland on Sunday - UK - Former husband of artist Vine denies paying her to marry him (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Charles Thomson, an artist who founded the Stuckist movement to promote painting and campaign against the conceptual art championed by Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, married former stripper Vine in 2001 in New York after a brief relationship.
		But Thomson said he had started borrowing money to fund her work before the wedding and even after the split was willing to continue providing financial support as part of a business deal.
		Thomson, who stood for parliament as a candidate for the Stuckist movement, said he recognised she had talent and they would have been more marketable as an art couple.

	Stuckism
		The name was coined by Thomson in response to the following comment, made by artist Tracey Emin to Childish, her then-boyfriend:
		The group are defined by their Stuckist Manifesto that places great importance on the values of traditional artistic skills over the popularity of "easy" installation pieces, and oppose modernism (at least as it is presently practiced in art).
		Probably the first was in 1999, when two artists, Yuan Chai and Jian Jun Xi, jumped on Tracey Emin's installation My Bed, a work consisting of the artist's own unmade bed, at the Tate Gallery.

		Thomson is a founder of The Medway Poets and co-founder of the Stuckists art group.
		She was exposed to a lot of artists there, who have subsequently had an influence on her (see http://www.stuckism.com/Vine1/Index.html).
		It is only fair and honest to acknowledge there was this help and there has been an influence, but she doesn’t do this, and I think it’s because she can’t see it, even though it’s obvious to others.

		Charles Saatchi owns the Saatchi Gallery, a gallery that shows the most bizarre types of art—so strange, in fact, that the viewer has to wonder what exactly is considered “art” these days.
		To mock the bedroom exhibit at the Saatchi, Thomson has placed beds throughout his studio as places for viewers to sit and look at the paintings—or just listen to the bold claims about art that Thomson and friends are likely to make.
		This bold claim of what an artist is causes problems because it attempts to put a definition on art—something that many have tried to do, but few have done successfully.

		However, while we are proud of what L.A. and California artists have accomplished over the years, and we extol the contributions these artists have made to the history of art, we are not foolish enough to proclaim our city as the center of anything (except perhaps, boredom).

	The Future \| Tendencies
		Conceptualism, hedonism and the cult of the ego artist seem to have taken hold in the minds of artists, the public, private collectors and public institutions alike, to say little of the unabashed complicity of critics hell-bent on denying the revolutionary potential of Sunday-painters, gardeners, cat-lovers and holistic.
		Yet for an artist or group of artists to content themselves with their outsider status, muttering something about ‘timelessness’, ‘endurance’ and ‘not selling out’, is not only unproductive, it is boring.
		But what really riles Thomson about Saatchi’s seemingly sudden conversion to what has already been termed ‘urban folk art’ in his ‘New Blood’ exhibition, and the surprising inclusion of Vine’s work, is that their inclusion isn’t surprising at all.

		An English artist, James Leslie, painted parts of the walls and ceilings of the corridors, including some of the birds and animals copied from specimens borrowed from the Smithsonian Institution.
		Major campaigns of retouching and repainting in oil over the frescoes were carried out by Charles Ayer Whipple (from 1919 to 1927), Charles Moberly (from 1921 to 1931), and George B. Matthews (between 1928 and 1935).

	Stuckists Tell Saatchi And Hirst "A Dead Shark Isn't Art" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		It's no coincidence that across town Charles Saatchi has just opened a gallery to showcase his spectacular collection of contemporary art, amongst which is a 17-foot embalmed tiger shark.
		The new bankside art gallery needs no introduction and neither does one of its most notorious exhibits, but what the Stuckists want to do is not only question Damien Hirst's work, but to confront the basis of the conceptual art that he and Mr Saatchi have helped make famous.
		Stuckist founder Charles Thomson told the 24 Hour Museum how he had noticed the shark a while ago, but waited until the opening of the new Saatchi Gallery to put it on display.

	Sec. 2, Anti-masonry Frequently Asked Questions
		Of the four men involved in designing the USA seal in 1776, only Benjamin Franklin was a freemason, and he contributed nothing of a masonic nature to the committee’s proposed design for a seal.
		Charles Thomson, Secretary of Congress, and William Barton, artist and consultant, borrowed from earlier designs and sketched what at length became the United States Seal.
		Harvard professor, Eliot Charles Norton (1827-1908), wrote that the reverse was "practically incapable of effective treatment; it can hardly, (however artistically treated by the designer), look otherwise than as a dull emblem of a masonic fraternity."

		In 1782 (nearly six years later!) these designs were submitted to Charles Thomson, Secretary to the Continental Congress, (and NOT a Mason) who prepared a design which, with some alterations, was adopted by the congress on June 20, 1782.
		Since there is no evidence that either Thomson or Barton was a Mason, and as they were the two individuals responsible for the final design, the presumption would be that they did not intend their work to be given a Masonic interpretation.

		'Remodernism is a term promulgated by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson, in an attempt to introduce a period of new spirituality into art, culture and society to replace Postmodernism, which they accused of being bankrupt and cynical.
		Its premise is that the potential of the Modernist vision has not been fulfilled, that its development has been in the wrong direction and that this vision needs to be reclaimed, redefined and redeveloped.
		The twenty first century will see artists and musicians, and then the general populace embracing an age of renewed spiritual progression, with which we can finally move into the modern world successfully as human beings.
