RA Summer Exhibition 2010 - RAW

A bit of info for those interested in this years RA summer Exhibition :)

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.
