New Work – Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2011
I have two prints in the Summer Exhibition this year. Both works are in Room V
Summer Exhibition 2011
7 June—15 August 2011
Royal Academy of Arts opening times
10am-6pm Saturday-Thursday (last admission to galleries 5.30pm)
10am-10pm Friday (last admission to galleries 9.30pm)
This year’s co-ordinator is Royal Academician Christopher Le Brun. Playing a significant role is Michael Craig-Martin RA who is curating one of the largest galleries. The Architecture Room is curated by Piers Gough RA and Alan Stanton RA. One of the founding principles of the Royal Academy of Arts was to ‘mount an annual exhibition open to all artists of distinguished merit’ to finance the training of young artists in the RA Schools. This has been held every year without interruption since 1769 and continues to play a significant part in raising funds to finance the students. The Royal Academy receives no public funding so all those who support the Summer Exhibition by submitting work, visiting it and through purchases contribute to supporting artists of the future. The largest space in the Royal Academy features a new approach to a traditional “salon hang”. This includes a mix of open submission works as well as artworks by Royal Academicians. A dense and rich visual experience is created through the presentation of works hung from dado rail to picture rail. Works on display include a large canvas by the Danish painter Per Kirkeby and Keith Tyson’s apocalyptic painting Deep Impact. The Summer Exhibition attracts a high volume of entrants each year with over 12,000 entries received this year from 27 countries. The majority of works are for sale, offering visitors an unrivalled opportunity to purchase original artwork by high profile and up-and-coming artists. Michael Craig-Martin’s curated room features works by newly elected and established Royal Academicians including Tacita Dean, Gary Hume, Allen Jones, Cornelia Parker, Jenny Saville and Alison Wilding. Craig-Martin has also curated the Wohl Central Hall which greets visitors on arrival with a celebration of photography. For the first time these walls are hung solely with the work of artists who use photographic media including an image by Cindy Sherman Hon RA.
New Work The Ark – Printroom, London
The Ark is both a piece of fantastic speculation and a serious consideration of how we use measurement in business today.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is about efficiency. Business has downsized the workforce, made redundancies and sold off parts of underperforming businesses. Now the latest trend is to measure our tools and our equipment in manufacturing operations.
To explore this process, I decided to compare the effectiveness of Noah’s Ark as Machine 1 vs. the Titanic as Machine 2. My objective was to assess individual performance, dividing it into three separate measurable components: operating data, production data and run time.
The question here is how effective are our measuring systems and can they really work as a model for business?
