Mail
Now there's some irony for you.

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.

Searle rants, as is his habit, about the debate in The

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