Review the Royal Academy Summer Show

Isabel Andrews, Thursday, 12th June 2008

Nothing announces the arrival of the British summer better than the Royal Academy's annual summer exhibition. Now in its 240th year, the exhibition opened its doors last week, offering us the opportunity to view the spectrum of established, emerging and unknown artists.

We would like you to send us your reviews of the show, in no more than 250 words, and we will publish the best reviews online in 'Muse'. So tell us what you think about the room that Tracy Emin has curated – she has said that she set out to provoke visitors but has she suceeded? Who are the artists catching your attention, both the brilliant and the banal? And is the exhibition as relevant now as when it began?

Email your reviews to Apollo's editorial assistant (Isabel@apollomagazine) using 'Summer Exhibition Review' as the subject of your email. We're looking forward to hearing what you think!

Architecture
