The Royal Academy Schools hosts the annual exhibition of final year postgraduate students’ work, profiling the work of 16 artists that has been developed over the three-year period of intensive study. The exhibition sees the transformation of the students’ studios into a stunning contemporary gallery space and provides visitors with a rare opportunity to view exceptional pieces from an ambitious generation of international artists that rigorously questions what it means to be producing visual art in 2011.
