held this year for the first time outside London, at Tate Liverpool. This

The
exhibition, which runs from 19 October 2007 until 13 January 2008, features work
by the four artists who have been short-listed for their contribution to British
art in the last twelve months; the prize this year was awarded to Mark Wallinger
for his installation State Britain.
Multimedia tour
The tour itself
features specially recorded interviews with Turner Prize winner Mark Wallinger
and nominee Zarina Bhimji, alongside comments from judges Michael Bracewell,
Fiona Bradley and Miranda Sawyer and analyses of the works by Tate Liverpool
director Christoph Grunenberg and curators Simon Groom and Laurence Sillars.
The multimedia tour is
available to all visitors to the exhibition, who are encouraged to borrow an
iPod 5G (iPod Video) from the gallery free of charge.
Podcast
The tour is also
available to download free of charge from iTunes or from the Acoustiguide and
