17.02.2007 19:38:20 The Royal Academy is teaming up with Charles Saatchi for an exhibition celebrating new American art. The collaboration comes nearly 10 years after their controversial Sensation exhibition helped further the careers of Tracy Emin and Damien Hirst. USA Today, which opens on 4 October, will feature 30 young contemporary artists who work in the US. The exhibition focuses on America's place in the world, and willinclude painting, photography and sculpture. Among the artists who will be submitting work are Kelley Walker, Rodney McMillian, Inka Essenhigh and Ryan McGinness. Some of the pieces have already attracted attention because of their political messages, such as Jules de Balincourt's Disunited States, a redrawn map of the US. bbc.co.uk
