Join Richard Wilson, one of Britain’s most renowned sculptors and Coordinator of the RA Summer Exhibition 2016, as he discusses his critically acclaimed work with RA Artistic Director Tim Marlow.

He is best known for his provoking and playful installations, such as 20:50, a sea of reflective sump oil which is permanently installed in the Saatchi Collection. Wilson has exhibited widely nationally and internationally with major museum exhibitions and public works across the globe. He was twice nominated for the Turner Prize and was awarded the prestigious DAAD residency in Berlin.
In this event Richard Wilson discusses his celebrated career with Tim Marlow and some of his ideas behind the coordination of this year’s Summer Exhibition.
