From: art london Category: Art Date: 28 November 2008 Time: 04:22 AM Review: http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibitions/gsk-contemporary-season/ Why not just call it glaxosmithkline, forget the initials and the contemporary. Also the cafe is very nice, so get rid of the scrappy-seen it all video installations and other art, then there would be be more room for the fancy restaurant. The whole thing is art as pimp/ advertising for retail and if these are the end of days for contemporary art, you can't help cheering a little. Woolworths contemporary, or ww contemporary to follow.
