Summer exhibition 2012

Royal Academy of Arts, London

The Royal Academy's annual Summer Exhibition marks the start of the Summer Season. The world's largest open submission contemporary art show, now in its 244th year, continues the tradition of showcasing work by both emerging and established artists in all media including painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, architecture and film. The Summer Exhibition attracts a high volume of entrants annually with over 11,000 entries received this year. The exhibition begins in the Wohl Central Hall, which this year pays homage to Matisse's The Red Studio. The vibrant gallery provide a backdrop to a selection of paintings whose main concern is colour. Gallery III, the grandest space in Burlington House, is curated by Tess Jaray. Containing a large quantity of smaller paintings, the gallery demonstrates that work of a more modest scale can be as powerful as larger work. As a former teacher at the Slade School of Art, Jaray is mindful of providing a forum for established and younger artists to show their work to the public. Further highlights include a video room dedicated to the work of Jayne Parker and a gallery of Scottish and Irish artists arranged by Barbara Rae. Other artists exhibiting this year include Michael Craig-Martin, Michael Landy, Tracey Emin, Ken Howard, Anselm Kiefer Hon, Raqib Shaw, Calum Innes and Keith Coventry.
