The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition features large-scale installation by Ryan Gander in the courtyard

18 June 2025

Until 17 August, The Royal Academy presents their Summer Exhibition featuring large-scale installation by Ryan Gander in the courtyard.

Through associative thought processes that connect the everyday and the esoteric, the overlooked and the commonplace, Gander’s 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. His work can be reminiscent of a puzzle, or a network with multiple connections and the fragments of an embedded story. 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.

The Summer Exhibition features Lisson Gallery artists: Christopher Le Brun, Dexter Dalwood, Shirazeh Houshairy, Richard Long, Leiko Ikemura, Ryan Gander, Marina Abramović and Sean Scully.
