LONDON, 3 July 2002 - Tate Britain has announced the four artists who have been shortlisted for this year's Turner Prize.The artists are:

Fiona Bannerfor her exhibitions at the Kunstverein Aachen and Dundee Contemporary Arts, in which she revealed her new large graphite drawings, and where she interwove graphic, sculptural and sound works, as well as extending the sources of her film-based text works.

Liam Gillick, for his outdoor installation at Tate Britain and his exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, in which he reaffirmed his ability to create complex works of art which set up the possibility of dialogue, often achieved in collaboration with other artists internationally. His writings and curatorial projects were also noted.

Keith Tyson for his exhibitions at the Venice Biennale, the South London Gallery, and the Kunsthalle Zurich, where the energy, richness and breadth of content, and the playfulness of his large graphic works, as well as the relationship to them of his machine sculptures, was vividly apparent.

Catherine Yass for her exhibitions at the Indian Triennial and at asprey jacques, London, in which she furthered her explorations of portraiture (notably in the works resulting from her recent stay in India), as well as of architecture, where she extended her practice into film.

Work by the shortlisted artists will be shown in an exhibition at Tate Britain from 30 October 2002 - 5 January 2003. The winner of the £20,000 prize will be announced at Tate Britain on 8 December 2002 during a live broadcast by Channel 4.
