Oxford Union debate

Charles Thomson, Stuckist co-founder, spoke at the Oxford Union on 5 November 2009 in proposition, "This House Believes that Conceptual Art 'Just Isn't Art'", with David Armitage and Mark Leckey (last year's Turner Prize winner!?) versus Dr Stephen Deuchar, Director of Tate Britain, Miroslaw Balka, Matthew Collings and the ranting Adrian Searle, lead art fulminator of The Guardian.

Adrian Searle rants, as is his habit, about the debate in The Guardian 9.11.09. (Scroll to "Oxford's preposterous debate".)

Charles Thomson: "Leckey is a conceptual artist, if he thinks that he isn't, he is sadly mistaken." See The Guardian
