Due to the coronovirus pandemic, this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition has been delayed to the autumn for the first time since its beginning in 1769.
Jane and Louise Wilson RA are coordinators of the 252nd Summer Exhibition in 2020. Working with the rest of the Summer Exhibition Committee they seek to challenge the definition of what community is and what form collective communities can begin to take. Themes this year reflect upon identity, immigration, contested borders, ecological threat, climate change, pro-democracy protest and landscape, in the form of installation, painting, film, photography and sculpture.
Amanda Ansell’s painting ‘Making the Rounds’ has been selected for display in gallery IV, which is curated by Professor Sonia Boyce OBE RA.
