Sarah Lucas, Jake and Dinos Chapman and Mat Collishaw appear alongside Angela Bulloch, Angus Fairhurst, Graham Gussin, Abigail Lane, Georgina Starr, Sam Taylor-Wood and Jane and Louise Wilson. This is not a single style or a single argument. It is a city's art scene, assembled for export.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover sets the tone before the book is opened. A young woman in a patterned dress lies backwards off a leather sofa, her head hanging toward the floor, the whole image printed in cold blue monochrome. The title is set in two voices: \"corpus\" in a plain lowercase sans-serif, \"delicti\" in blackletter. A body, and the evidence of a crime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the back, the artists are listed in spaced capitals. At the foot sit a monogram and the logo of the British Council, so a show at a Copenhagen art society carries the mark of Britain's cultural agency abroad. The list runs alphabetically by surname, with one exception: the Chapmans appear as Dinos, then Jake, but the Wilsons as Louise, then Jane. Twelve names, ten practices. Two collaborating pairs, each entered as two individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKunstforeningen, Copenhagen, 1995. Texts by Torben Christensen, Andrew Renton and Helle Behrndt.
