TRAFALGAR SQUARE DEMO 2001
Against Rachel Whitread's stupid plinth
4 June 2001

More detailed description of this event here and here.

As soon as the unveiling by Chris Smith, Culture Minister, had finished, demonstrators, including Stella vine, held up placards, while Charles Thomson got onto the podium in front of Whiteread's plinth, and displayed a sign saying:
"Vote Stuckist. Mr Smith do you really think this stupid plinth is a work of art?"


Sir Nicholas Serota was not happy and made his feelings known.
