An interview with one of the co-ordinators of the 2010 Summer Exhibition, Stephen Chambers, at the Royal Academy of Arts.
The Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition is one of London's longest-running art shows, now in its 242nd year.
It's also the world's largest open-submission contemporary art exhibition with around 11,000 works submitted annually.
Each year, the Summer Exhibition features work by Royal Academy artists (Academicians). This year, you'll be able to see new work by artists such as Ed Ruscha, Gillian Ayres and Tracey Emin.
Guest curators in 2010 include Fiona Rae, who will take over a room within the exhibition, and David Chipperfield, who will curate the Architecture Gallery.
