Theme and content
[edit]The exhibition sought to showcase a burgeoning group of English artists now known as theYBAs.[4]The Walker's press material, defining the criteria for selection of artists in the exhibition, says:
The artists chosen for the exhibition have become increasingly visible over the past six years in self-promoted, renegade exhibitions and publications that have cropped up throughout London. Their aesthetically diverse and provocative artworks are united by a shared interest in ephemeral materials, unconventional presentation, and an anti-authoritarian stance that lends their objects a youthful, aggressive vitality.[5]
