Axis www.axisweb.org is the UK’s online resource for information about contemporary art and artists. The website includes a directory of over 2400 current practising artists in the UK and a series of programmes designed to keep you up-to-date with current developments in contemporary British art. Dialogue is Axis’s free online art journal, generating new critical writing on contemporary art practice. A platform for contrary opinions and broad discussion, each issue prompts and engages in topical debates and critically explores the practice of the artists represented across the Axis website.
