STUCKISM ENTERS THE WORLD OF (KINKY) FICTION
As far as we know 'Ascent into Chastity' by Ann X is the first work of fiction to make reference to the Stuckists, as follows:
'....I was a struggling artist, who'd never married or had a family and he was a very rich widower, with three, grown-up children, who liked my paintings. Not many did and I was broke!'
'They're good!' I meant the reassurance. 'We bought one about eight years ago and still like it.' I counted the others on my fingers. 'And we've bought another three since including last night's.'
'But they're not very Tracy Emin. Not very modern! Not very original! In fact, very stuckist!' She paused for effect.
The story hots up as you can see from the following excerpt:
"What the hell was I doing taking off my clothes in the locked toilet of an art gallery with a very frustrated artist and standing there in just my tightly laced corset, stockings and heels?"
Art is of course the new rock 'n' roll. Read the whole salacious/chaste tale on:
