nah.

Surely you'll have a massively wide base in intentions and approaches to engagement in this issue, yeah? I don't think in doing this the Chapman brothers are only after peblicity: Surely vastly rich influential artists' biggest power lies in their vast riches and art's influence, and who gets the say-so on who joins the dissent and how?

Seems a bit kneejerk, man.
