Matthew Collings defends contemporary art at the Oxford Union in a debate which took place on 5 November 2009. The motion was: "This house believes that conceptual art just isn't art", and the other speakers challenging the motion were the Polish artist Miroslaw Balka, critic Adrian Searle, and the Tate's Stephen Deuchar. The speakers supporting the motion included, bizarrely, Mark Leckey, winner of the Turner Prizer, and the Stuckist Charles Thomson. With thanks to the Stuckists for documenting the debate. |
