By the time you read this foreword there will be a new President elected by secret ballot in the General Assembly room of Burlington House. So, it seems appropriate now to reflect more widely beyond the normal hori- zon of the Annual Report. Our founders in 1768 comprised some of the greatest figures of the British Enlightenment, King George III, Reynolds, West and Chambers, supported and advised by a wider circle of thinkers and intellectuals such as Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson. It is no exaggeration to suggest that their original inten- tions for what the Academy should be are closer to realisation than ever before. They proposed a school, an exhibition and a membership. -

Abstract Drawing 20 February – 19 April 2014 Curated by Richard Deacon
Drawing Room, 12 Rich Estate, Crimscott Street, London SE1 5TE Abstract Drawing 20 February – 19 April 2014 Curated by Richard Deacon Artists include: Tomma Abts, Roger Ackling, Anni Albers, David Austen, David Batchelor, Victor Ciato, Garth Evans, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, John Golding, Lothar Götz, Frederick Hammersley, Victoria Haven, Susan Hefuna, Eva Hesse, Dom Sylvester Houédard, Anish Kapoor, Hilma af Klint, John Latham, Bob Law, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Kazimir Malevich, Emma McNally, Sam Messenger, Nasreen Mohamedi, Jackson Pollock, Dorothea Rockburne, Mira Schendel, Richard Serra, Kishio Suga, Darrell Viner, Alison Wilding, Richard Wright. Artist Richard Deacon has selected a broad range of works by over 30 artists spanning the last 105 years on the idea of ‘abstraction’ in drawing. Deacon says: ‘This exhibition has no ambitions to be a universal survey, but in selecting a show around the idea of abstract drawing, these various strands – inscriptive, calligraphic, ornamental, generative, individuating and identifying – have all featured.’ Richard Deacon CBE is one of the most important British sculptors of his generation and has exhibited internationally since the early 1980s. He won the Turner prize in 1987, and a major retrospective exhibition of his work is presented at Tate Britain in 2014 (5 February – 27 April). The activity of drawing is crucial to his work as a sculptor, which engages with processes and means of manufacture. This deep interest in making as an activity is evident in his selection of works for Abstract Drawing. The earliest works exhibited here are drawings made in 1906 by Swedish artist Hilma af Klint, recently heralded as producing the earliest forms of Western abstraction, and in 1917/18 by Kazimir Malevich, regarded as the father of abstraction. -

Royal Academy of Arts Announces Election of New Professors for the Ra Schools and an Honorary Fellow
ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS ANNOUNCES ELECTION OF NEW PROFESSORS FOR THE RA SCHOOLS AND AN HONORARY FELLOW At a recent General Assembly meeting, conducted for the first time via video conference, the Royal Academy of Arts elected Fiona Banner RA as Professor of Perspective and Lubaina Himid RA as Professor of Painting for the Royal Academy Schools. Alison Wilding RA’s appointment as Eranda Professor of Drawing has also been extended for two years. This follows the election of author Zadie Smith as Honorary Fellow earlier this year. Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press RA Elect (b.1966) Professor of Perspective Fiona Banner often works under the moniker of The Vanity Press. She established the imprint in 1997, with her seminal book The Nam. Since then she has published many works, some in the form of books, some sculptural, some performance based. In 2009 she issued herself an ISBN number and registered herself as a publication under her own name. Humour, conflict and language are at the core of her work. She first became known for her wordscapes, often heroically proportioned works that capture in her own words “films, from war blockbusters to porn”. She often works with the nude, transcribing the human form into category-defying prose. Sometimes she repurposes military aircraft to brutal, sensual, and comedic ends. Lubaina Himid RA Elect (b.1954) Professor of Painting Born in Zanzibar in 1954, Lubaina Himid is a British painter who has dedicated her four-decades- long career to uncovering marginalised and silenced histories, figures, and cultural expressions. She studied Theatre Design at Wimbledon College of Art and went on to receive an MA in Cultural History from the Royal College of Art. -

I wanted to take this moment to thank you all once again for your incredibly warm welcome. Of course, this has also been one of the most challenging years that the Royal Academy has ever faced, and none of us could have foreseen the events of the following months on that day in December when all of the Academicians came together for their Election Assembly. I never imagined that within months of being elected, I would be responsible for the temporary closure of the Academy on 17 March 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. -

PDF Transcript: Mike Smith Goldsmiths
Mike Smith (Mike Smith Studio) Lecture Tuesday 24th May 2005 For more details on the Mike Smith Studio, including information on the art works discussed below, see: http://www.mikesmithstudio.com ANDREA PHILLIPS – WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION MARIAM FRASER - INTRODUCTION I'd like to begin by thanking everyone here for coming today. And I'd also like to extend a very warm welcome to Mike Smith. Mike has been invited here today by the Centre for the Study of Invention and Social Process, which is an interdisciplinary research centre at Goldsmith's, based in the Sociology department. I want to say just a few words about the conceptual links between the Centre and the Mike Smith Studio before passing over to Mike. As its name suggests, the study of invention is at the heart of the Centre. This means, on the one hand, that its concerned with the contemporary value that's attributed to invention and innovation, and indeed to creativity, across a broad range of spheres – which include not only art, but also for example science, the market, the work place, and the media. The centre's also concerned however with invention in a theoretical sense. Invention as a concept orients sociology, for example, away from the problems of social order and towards material and social processes. It invites us to look at the transformation of social and material realities. Or to put that differently: the concept of invention can be an invitation to think of identities and objects not in terms of discrete and given entities, organised into fixed hierarchies, but rather as things that are created out of diverse, contingent, and heterogeneous processes. -
