Timeline

2014

Compston organised events in Shoreditch as a part of his deliberate vision of shaping an artist community and creating far reaching urban regeneration, both of which became his actual legacy. The events included two summer fetes (A Fete Worse Than Death), and a picnic in Hoxton Square (The Hanging Picnic). Compston's legacy to Shoreditch was celebrated by a revival of A Fete Worse Than Death in 2014. His archive is held by the Tate Gallery.

1996

In 1996, at the age of 25, Compston died as the result of taking ether at his gallery in Charlotte Road, which was also his home. His coffin was painted with a William Morris pattern by Gary Hume and Gavin Turk. His funeral was attended by several hundred mourners including leading figures of the London art scene. He is buried at Kensal Green Cemetery. Compston's tomb, on which he is depicted laid out on his little Thames boat, was carved from Portland stone by the artist and cartoonist Zebedee Helm.

1993

In 1993, he opened a gallery at 44a Charlotte Road, Shoreditch, the first gallery to open in what was then a semi-derelict part of east London. European Dadaist manifestos, 20th century propaganda and the Arts and Crafts Movement were influences in his creation of the Factual Nonsense brand and concept of social philosophy. The name was taken from the title of a painting by David Taborn.

1992

At the Courtauld he soon became frustrated that the teachers and art writers were taking insufficient interest in the work of living artists, and that as a result students were ignorant of major figures in 20th century art. Traditionally, students at the Courtauld had been taught in rooms hung with the masterworks from the history of art. Taking advantage of a relocation of the school, and new empty walls in the teaching rooms, he put all his enthusiasms into levering the Courtauld into exhibiting the work of contemporary painters on temporary loan - a practice which continues to this day, entitled 'The East Wing Biennial'. He graduated from the Courtauld in 1992. At this time, he was associated with the American gallerist Maureen Paley.

1970

Joshua Richard Compston (1 June 1970 – 5 March 1996) was a London curator and progressive thinker, whose company Factual Nonsense was closely associated with the emergence of the Young British Artists (YBAs).
