Remodernism

Remodernism is a stuckist philosophical movement aimed at reviving aspects of modernism, particularly its early form, in a manner that both follows after and contrasts with postmodernism. It was initiated in 2000 by stuckists Billy Childish and Charles Thomson with a manifesto seeking to introduce a new spirituality into art, culture and society to replace what they saw as a cynical and spiritually bankrupt postmodernism, and its adherents present it as a forward radical impetus rather than a reactionary one; later commentators, including critics writing on the Turner Prize and at Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum, connected it to a revival of painting and traditional modernist values such as authenticity and self-expression.
