Summer Exhibition Co-ordinators 2010
Stephen Chambers and David Chipperfield
Selection and Hanging Committee
Olwyn Bowey, Stephen Chambers , David Chipperfield, Anne Christopher, Eileen Cooper, Stephen Farthing, Norman Foster, Michael Hopkins, John Hoyland, Allen Jones, David Remfry, John Wragg
The Theme
The co-ordinators have agreed that the theme for 2010 will be Raw. They wish to ‘cut to the chase’ and take a look behind the exterior of the pristine; to address the properties of the materials and the working finger prints left in pursuit of curiosity. Raw can be stark, natural, unrefined, honest, bleak, tender and new. “The hope is that we get to peer into an imagination at work; candour beyond disguise”.
The theme will be explored throughout the exhibition; please note, though, that it is not a condition of entry and all submissions will be welcome.
This year the co-ordinators would like to draw attention to a body of work which has previously been neglected and encourage the submission of limited edition artist books, livre d’artiste. For these purposes, an artist’s book is a work of art realised in book form rather than a catalogue.
A Message to Architects from David Chipperfield CBE RA
The theme of this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Raw, will guide the curatorial direction of the architecture room. Participants are asked to submit work that exposes ideas and concepts as opposed to work that is more concerned with presentation and salesmanship. The curators wish to emphasise the intellectual and physical craft engaged in the evolution of architectural projects.
