Royal Academy Summer Exhibition part 2

I have not been back since the first day, but since then, many friends have been checking in to say that although a shame, the paintings are still visible and suit the environment. I am relieved.

The show is less amazing than last year because Tracy Emin wasn't curating a room full of childish sexual crap. I liked the Julian Schnabel and the Israeli video artist who had a naked woman hoola hooping with barbed wire but the rest was largely forgettable. This year there wasn't a shocking room. Perhaps that is a better use of space afterall.

They talk about below the line, but this is ridiculous!
