went to visit the blockbuster summer exhibition at the royal academy last week. now in its 244th year, the summer show exhibits work by both emerging and established artists. it is said to be the worlds largest open submission contemporary art show. as usual, the works ranged in all media such as: painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, architecture and film. the culture show's alastair sooke has covered the exhibition and it can be viewed on iplayer (link below)

it was lovely to see that an artist i had commissioned an art work from (who exhibited in the previous years summer exhibition) had her work shown once again at the current summer show.
also went to the barbican to see the 'bauhaus: art as life' exhibition. the exhibition explored the world's most famous modern art and design school through over 400 works produced by its students during its 14 year history from 1919 to 1933. some of my favourite pieces were by the hungarian artist laszlo moholy nagy. he was a painter, photographer and professor at the bauhaus. his collages were extremely minimalistic yet effective.
