Running until 17th August 2025, the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition<\/a> features a large-scale installation by Ryan Gander<\/a>\u00a0in the courtyard.<\/p>\n

I can’t say it’s something that I particularly engaged with, but here’s the arty guff:<\/p>\n

Through associative thought processes that connect the everyday and the esoteric, the overlooked and the commonplace, Gander\u2019s work involves a questioning of language and knowledge, as well as a reinvention of both the modes of appearance and the creation of an artwork.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His work can be reminiscent of a puzzle, or a network with multiple connections and the fragments of an embedded story.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is ultimately a huge set of hidden clues to be deciphered, encouraging viewers to make their own associations and invent their own narrative in order to unravel the complexities staged by the artist. [—<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
