Royal Academy Special

Post categories: Art, Music, On the show

Ellen West - web producer | 12:41 UK time, Thursday, 12 June 2008

Tonight's special from this year's Royal Academy Summer Exhibition is looking really good. It's on BBC Two tonight at 7pm (unless you live in Northern Ireland, in which case you are looking at a very late bedtime indeed) and features Gavin Turk, Sir Anthony Caro, Tracey Emin and an announcement of the Wollaston Prize. Full details here.

We're also very excited about the fact that Jarvis Cocker plays out the show with a brand new track entitled Angela. We're so excited, that we're racing against the clock to put the track up on the web ahead of the show! Watch this space.

I missed the end of the show, please can someone tell me who of the three artists, if any, made it into the exhibition? In particular I'm interested in the landscape artist whose name currently escapes me.

Sudles, sorry to not respond before. The landscape artist you mention above is Rob Perry, and I'm afraid that he didn't get into the exhibition. If you want to find out whose work was accepted, you can watch the end of the show on iPlayer - I really shouldn't give away the surprise...

I didn't realise there was a Summer Exhibition. Thanks for letting me know. I think I'll submit something for next year.

Hi NapoleonInRags

Sorry about the delay in responding, the artist was Oliver Clegg.

We're actually repeating the Royal Academy Special in the early hours of Thursday morning (late on Wednesday night). Details here.
