RA Summer Exhibition

According to BBC London News, the 240th Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition opened today. Not to the public it didn't. Aunty tends to get confused about press days. As soon as BBC cameras get inside, an exhibition must be open. According to the RA website, which crashed soon after I accessed it, the Summer Exhibition opens on Monday 9 June. BBC cameramen aren't the best of art connoisseurs; they tend to point their cameras at the most glaring tosh they spot. So, if the exhibition looked worse than usual, it could be their fault. The one eye-catching work I glimpsed before a nervous BBC editor cut away from it was a zebra with an erection mounting a naked human (bit early in the day for that sort of thing). All I can tell you from such a fleeting glimpse is that it wasn't a Greveys zebra.
