This panel argued against three of the most common criticisms and truisms leveled at contemporary art: that it is elitist, confusing and irrelevant; that it is peddled by unskilled charlatans conning the general public, and that poor artists will be more inventive and radical because they are not corrupted by the market.

  • Roger Hiorns (Artist, shortlisted for 2009 Turner Prize)
  • Kathrin Rhomberg (Curator of the 6 berlin biennial, 2010)
  • Adrian Searle (Curator, writer, and chief art critic at the Guardian)
  • Chair: Tom Morton (Curator, Hayward Gallery, London)
