Contemporary British art has been reaching wider audiences in recent years at home and abroad, with the nation-wide interest attracted by the Turner Prize and the increased profile of young British artists internationally. This text, rather than being a survey, highlights the various aspects of particular interest and activity which make the British scene distinctive and exciting. Contributors include: Andrew Wilson on new painting; Adrian Heathfield interviewing Blaast Theory, Desperate Optimists and Forced Entertainment on aspects of British Live Art; Oriana Baddeley interviewing Gulf War artist John Keane; Petrine Archer-Straw interviewing Eddie Chambers on black art in Britain; Jeffrey Kastner on Matts Gallery and the phenomenon of artist-run spaces; Liam Gillick on the internationalization of recent British art; and Andrew Renton on the 1994 Turner Prize winner, Antony Gormley.
