2022, Vice Media published How we conned the British press a short documentary on Going Places featuring two Leeds 13 members and Martin Wainwright former northern editor of The Guardian who covered the group's projects in Leeds. According to Wainwright both the holiday story and hoax reality were very entertaining, and Going Places should be considered one of history's famous hoaxes.

If we can accept this dissident posture we can take this exhibition as a work of art in itself." Response The Degree Show was open to the public 818 June 1999, longer than the typical three to four days for an end-of-year exhibition. Leeds 13's tutor Ben Read conceded that students normally showed their own work, but asked "Have they made these works their own art?" before concluding that the exhibition had stimulated debate on the nature of art. However, other
