The Tate Triennial Exhibition of Contemporary British Art

The Tate Triennial is a snapshot of the state of contemporary art in Britain today. Featuring 30 artists the 2006 Triennial will explore a significant strand in contemporary art practice: the borrowing or recasting of cultural material. While the appropriation and juxtaposition of images, facts, formal elements and even existing art works is a well recognized artistic strategy, most commonly associated with post-modernism, the Triennial aims to identify new tendencies in the way contemporary artists process their material.
