Anyone can be a talented, but it takes genius to be a loser. “Talented Losers” names a theoretical contemporary art movement out of London… An unholy child from the loose loins of The Stuckist group. De-skilling the disciplines of Music, Art, Film, Dance, Performance, Theatre, and Poetry… these weird wizards play perversity’s lyre with the casual fluency of a flatulent. “Talented Losers” is also the name of a collaborative poetry project by Colin Shaddick and Sexton Ming (published by Open Fly press 2010). The following Pleonasm/R.I.M. Records download is from their book launch party and performance, recorded live at London’s famous 12 Bar... Sexton Ming began his career as a poet with the now legendary Medway Poets. Sharing creative fluids with the likes of Billy Childish and Charles Thomson (founder of the Stuckist Group), Sexton has led a prolific artistic life producing countless works of Visual Art, Music, Poetry, Literature and Theatre. This is his first official spoken word album... Colin Shaddick is a London based artist, crowned ‘Great British Eccentric’ (by the UK Eccentric Club in 2009). He was also editor and publisher for the contemporary poetry magazine “SAW”.
