[edit] Life and Art
Nicholas Watson was a well known member of Stuckism, a Remodernist art movement begun in Britain by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson. Watson is known primarily as part of the group that founded and ran the Stuckism International Centre USA, an art gallery in New Haven, CT. He was later associated with the Remodernist Film group. His film Shooting at the Moon co-directed with noted Stuckist and Remodernist photographer and filmmaker Jesse Richards is considered one of the first works of Remodernist film. Shooting at the Moon premiered at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival in November 2003. In March 8, 2008 the film made its London premiere at Horse Hospital during their FLIXATION Underground Cinema event.
Despite his associations with visual art and media; Nicholas Watson's primary work is as a writer. Within the Stuckism group he is credited with writing the Clown Trial of President Bush which was a demonstration held on federal courthouse steps condemning the war in Iraq.
His collections of poetry and writing are all currently out of print.
He now lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
