Musical creative person

Baton Kittenish (born Steven John Hamper, i December 1959) is an English language painter, writer, poet, photographer, film maker, vocaliser and guitarist. Since the tardily 1970s, Childish has been prolific in creating music, writing and visual art. He has led and played in bands including the Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, Thee Headcoats, and the Musicians of the British Empire, primarily working in the genres of garage rock, punk and surf and releasing more than than 100 albums.

He is a consistent abet for amateurism and gratis emotional expression. Childish co-founded the Stuckism art motion with Charles Thomson in 1999, which he left in 2001. Since then a new evaluation of Childish's standing in the art earth has been under way, culminating with the publication of a critical study of Childish's working exercise past the artist and author Neal Brown, with an introduction by Peter Doig, which describes Kittenish as "one of the most outstanding, and often misunderstood, figures on the British art scene".^[ane] He is a visiting lecturer at Rochester Independent College.^[2] In July 2014 Kittenish was awarded an honorary Doctor of Arts Degree from the University of Kent.^[3]

He is known for his explicit and prolific piece of work – he has detailed his love life and childhood sexual corruption, notably in his early verse and the novels My Error (1996), Notebooks of a Naked Youth (1997), Sex Crimes of the Futcher (2004) – The Idiocy of Idears (2007), and in several of his songs, notably in the instrumental "Paedophile" (1992) (featuring a photograph of the man who sexually abused him on the forepart cover) and "Every Chip of Me" (1993). From 1981 until 1985 Childish had a human relationship with artist Tracey Emin.

Thirty years afterward Childish's showtime musical releases with Thee Milkshakes and Thee Mighty Caesars, a crop of lo-fi, surf rock and punk groups with psychedelic subtexts has surfaced referencing the aesthetic established past Childish in both their band names and in diverse aspects of their sonic artful:^[4] Thee Oh Sees, Thee Open up Sex,^[v] Thee Tsunamis,^{[half dozen]} Thee Dang Dangs and many others.

Background [edit]

Billy Childish. The Drinker, oil painting, 1996.

Billy Childish was born, lives and works in Chatham, Kent, England. He has described his father, John Hamper, every bit a "complex, sociopathic narcissist": Hamper was jailed during Kittenish'southward teenage years for drug smuggling.^[7] Although he had an early and close clan with many of the artists who became known equally "YBA" artists he has resolutely asserted his independent status. He was sexually abused when he was anile nine by a male family unit friend: "We were on holiday. I had to share a bed with him. It happened for several nights, then I refused to go well-nigh him. I didn't tell anyone".^[viii] He left secondary school at xvi, an undiagnosed dyslexic. Refused an interview at the local art college, he entered Chatham Dockyard, Kent, as an amateur stonemason. During the next six months (the artist's simply prolonged period of conventional employment), he produced some 600 drawings in "the tea huts of hell". On the ground of this work he was accepted into Saint Martin's School of Art, where he was friends with the artist Peter Doig, to study painting. Nonetheless, his credence was curt-lived and he was expelled in 1982 earlier completing the course. He then lived on the dole for 15 years. In 2006 Childish turned down the offering to appear on Aqueduct iv's Celebrity Big Brother. Kittenish has practised yoga and meditation since the early 1990s.^[9]

Painting [edit]

As a prospective student lacking the necessary entry qualifications, Kittenish was accepted into fine art school four times on the strength of his paintings and drawings. He did a foundation year at Medway College of Design (now the University for the Creative Arts) in 1977–78, and was then accepted onto the painting department of Saint Martin's School of Art in 1978, before quitting a month after. He was re-accepted at St Martins in 1980, merely was expelled in 1982 for refusing to paint in the art school and other unruly behaviour. At Saint Martin's, Kittenish became friends with Peter Doig with whom he shared an appreciation of Munch, Van Gogh and dejection music. Doig later co-curated Childish's commencement London evidence at the Cubit Street Gallery. In the early on/mid 1980s Childish was a "major influence" on the artist Tracey Emin,^[10] whom he met afterwards his expulsion from Saint Martin'south when she was a fashion student at Medway College of Design. Childish has been cited as the influence for Emin'south later confessional art. Childish has exhibited extensively since the 1980s, and was featured in the British Art Show in 2000. In 2010, a major exhibition of Childish'due south paintings, writing and music was held at The ICA London, with a concurrent painting testify running at White Columns Gallery in New York.

In October 2012, aslope Fine art Below, Childish presented his piece of work at the exhibition 'Art Beneath Regents Park' in Regent'southward Park Tube station to coincide with Frieze Art Fair, one of the most of import international contemporary art fairs that takes place each October in London.

The British Art Resistance [edit]

In 2008 Childish formed the "non organisation" The British Art Resistance, and held an exhibition under the title Hero of The British Art Resistance at The Aquarium L-xiii gallery in London: A collection of paintings, books, records, pamphlets, poems, prints, messages, moving-picture show, photographs fabricated in 2008.^[11]

Music [edit]

Childish made records of punk, garage, stone and roll, dejection, folk, classical/experimental, spoken word and nursery rhymes. In a letter to Kittenish, the musician Ivor Cutler said of Childish: "You are perhaps besides subtle and sophisticated for the mass market."^{[ commendation needed ]} Childish's groups include TV21, subsequently known as the Popular Rivets (1977–1980), sometimes spelled the Popular Rivits, with Bruce Brand, Romas Foord (replaced by Russell 'Big Russ' Wilkins) and Russell 'Little Russ' Lax.

He later formed a garage rock inspired band called Thee Milkshakes (1980–1984) with Mickey Hampshire, Thee Mighty Caesars (1985–1989), The Delmonas so Thee Headcoats (1989–1999). In 2000 he formed Wild Billy Childish & The Friends of the Vitrify Medways Fanciers Association (2000–2006), named later a type of poultry bred in his home boondocks. The Buff Medways, or The Buffs, as they were sometimes affectionately known, split in 2006, and Wild Billy Childish & the Musicians of the British Empire were built-in, recording a song about one of Childish'south heroes George Mallory titled "Bottomless Pit." In early 2007, Childish formed The Vermin Poets with former Burn Dept singer and guitarist Neil Palmer and A-Lines guitarist and singer Julie Hamper, his wife. Thee Headcoats began their monthly residency at the Wild Western Room in the St John's Tavern, north London, in the early 1990s, and continued after moving to the Muddied Water Club in 1996. The Musicians of the British Empire (MBEs) played at the venue more or less once a month until February 2011.

On 11 September 2009, Damaged Goods Records – Childish's current label – issued a message to subscribers stating that Kittenish's married woman Julie (aka Nurse Julie, bassist in the MBEs) was pregnant. Childish has since been recording every bit bass player with The Spartan Dreggs, with Neil Palmer on vocals and guitar and Wolf Howard on drums. From 2013 the MBEs reunited nether the name Wild Billy Kittenish [or 'Chyldish'] and CTMF and as of the end of 2014 have released three albums.^[12]

In 2014 Childish produced, played on and co-wrote (with Dave Tattersall) most of the songs on The Wave Pictures' album Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon.^[13]

Childish has been namechecked past a number of famous musicians including Kurt Cobain, Graham Coxon, The White Stripes (Jack White had Childish'southward name written in big messages on his arm for an early Top of the Pops appearance) and Kylie Minogue who named the LP Impossible Princess after his book Poems to Break the Harts of Impossible Princesses [sic].^[14]

Poetry [edit]

Kittenish is a confessional poet and has published over 40 collections of his work. In 1979, Childish was a founder member of The Medway Poets, a poetry performance group, who read at the Kent Literature Festival and the 1981 international Cambridge Verse Festival. There were, however, personality clashes in the group, particularly between Kittenish and Charles Thomson, who said: "There was friction between usa, especially when he started heckling my poetry reading and I threatened to ban him from a forthcoming Idiot box documentary."^[15] However, a Telly Southward documentary on the group in 1982 brought them to a wider regional audience, though Kittenish's poesy was "accounted unbroadcastable". According to Childish: "Me & Charles were at war from 1979 until 1999. He fifty-fifty threatened having bouncers on the doors of Medway Poets' readings to keep me out".^[sixteen] Childish has twice won commendations in the National Poetry Prize.

Hangman Books [edit]

In 1981–82 Childish formed Hangman Books, publishing poetry and some fiction. (Associated projects are Hangman Films and Hangman Records.) Hangman Books has published poetry books and pamphlets by Childish, Tracey Emin, Bill Lewis, Vic Templer, Joe Corkwell, Sexton Ming, Philip Absolon, Chris Broderick, Mark Lowe, Neil Sparks, Louis-Ferdinand Celine, Dan Melchior, Dan Belton, Alfie Howard, Simon Robson, Steve Prince, Joe Machine, Wolf Howard and Amanda Collier, among others. Between 1982 and 1987 the daily running of the press was carried out by Traci Emin (after Tracey Emin). From 1988 to 1999 information technology was managed by Kyra De Coninck (one of Thee Headcoatees band). Since 2000 Julie Hamper, Kittenish's wife, has been overseeing it. From 1986 Hangman Records, also run past Kittenish, released more than 50 LP records, including spoken word, experimental works and punk rock. Many local Medway groups and artists had their first releases on Hangman.^{[ commendation needed ]} Hangman Books and Hangman Records are both contained, non-turn a profit-making and do not receive outside funding.^{[ commendation needed ]}

Tracey Emin [edit]

During the 1980s, Childish was an influence on the artist Tracey Emin, whom he met in 1982, afterwards his expulsion from the painting department at Saint Martin's Schoolhouse of Art. Emin was a fashion educatee at Medway College of Design. Emin and Childish were a couple until 1987,^[17] Emin selling his poesy books for his small-scale printing Hangman Books. In 1995 she was interviewed in the Minky Manky show catalogue past Carl Freedman, who asked her, "Which person practise you think has had the greatest influence on your life?" She replied:

Uhmm... It'southward not a person really. It was more a time, going to Maidstone College of Art, hanging around with Childish, living by the River Medway.^{[ This quote needs a citation ]}

Emin's piece of work Anybody I Accept E'er Slept With 1963–1995 (1995) was first exhibited in the show, and Childish'due south name was displayed prominently in it.^{[ citation needed ]}

The Stuckists [edit]

In 1999 Childish and Thomson co-founded the Stuckist art movement. Thomson coined the grouping name from Childish's "Poem for a Pissed Off Wife" (Big Hart and Assurance 1994), where he had recorded Emin'southward remark to him:

"Your paintings are stuck, you are stuck! – Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!"

Billy Childish (far right) with the first Stuckists group at the Real Turner Prize Show, Pure Gallery, Shoreditch, London, in October 2000

The group was strongly pro-figurative painting and anti-conceptual fine art. Childish wrote a number of manifestos with Thomson, the showtime of which contained the statement:

"Artists who don't paint aren't artists."

The Stuckists soon achieved considerable press coverage, fuelled past Emin'southward nomination for the Turner Prize. They and then announced the inauguration of a cultural period of Remodernism to bring dorsum spiritual values into art, culture and society. The formation of The Stuckists directly led to Emin severing her xiv-twelvemonth friendship with Childish in 1999.

Childish has said: "The Stuckist art group was formed in 1999 at the instigation of Charles Thomson, the championship of the group being taken from a poem of mine written and published in 1994. I disagreed with the way Charles presented the group, particularly in the media. For these reasons I left the Stuckists in 2001. I never attended any Stuckist demonstrations and my work was not shown in the large Stuckist exhibition held in the Walker Art Gallery in 2004."^[17] ^{[ dead link ]}

British artist Stella Vine, who was a member of the Stuckists for a brusque time in 2001, first joined the group having developed a "crush" on Childish while attending his music events.^[xviii] In June 2000, Vine went to a talk given by Kittenish and fellow Stuckist co-founder Charles Thomson on Stuckism and Remodernism, promoted by the Institute of Ideas at the Salon des Arts, Kensington.^[19] Vine formed The Unstuckists one calendar month after joining, and has since said she did non hold with Stuckism'southward principles,^[20] and described them as bullies.^[21]

Conceptual art [edit]

Equally a young homo, Childish was highly influenced past Dada, and the work of Kurt Schwitters in particular. Childish has a Kurt Schwitters verse form tattooed on his left buttock and made a curt moving-picture show on Schwitters'due south life, titled The Man with Wheels, (1980, directed by Eugean Doyan).^[1] In his poetry, Childish mentions that he once had a bank business relationship under the proper noun of Kurt Schwitters. As to what is now termed conceptual art, Kittenish has said "I respect the right of detractors and champions alike equally nosotros alive in a democracy."^[17] ^{[ dead link ]}

The Chatham Super eight Movie theater [edit]

In 2002, along with Wolf Howard, Simon Williams and Julie Hamper, Kittenish formed The Chatham Super 8 Cinema. The group makes super 8 films on a second-hand photographic camera Wolf Howard bought at a local flea market. In 2004, Childish released a xxx-minute documentary titled Brass Monkey, about a march undertaken in Smashing War uniform commemorating the 90th ceremony of the British retreat from Mons in 1914.
