How wonderful to see this interview with her and how she keeps staying strong and has better arguments than all the critics. Wonderful and inspiring woman she is!!!
What I learned today 6 Lessons to become a successful artist. 1. Discipline yourself. 2. Use real emotions. 3. Never censor yourself. 4. Defend your work. 5. Be savvy with your money. 6. But ALWAYS love what you do. Thank you so much for share your experience Tracey Emin and thank you to The Human Condition for this gift. ❤😊❤
Reading some of the comments here: people seem to not know about the differences between fine art/ the academic approach and contemporary art. Fine art values the technical skill very much. And there is a big market for it. You just don’t hear about it much for some reason. Contemporary art focuses mostly on the emotional aspect of art. It’s more difficult to judge the quality of it, and there is also a lot of hyped up crap. But it has its justifications as well.
Based on her art I have no idea how she became recognized to the point that she is? I would like to see a doco on how she in some ways has put a spell on the art collectors.
The story she tells with graphic details and the shocking behaviour early on got her noticed. The bed wasn’t even that original. It was a take on another bed. It was all the ugly stuff and used condoms and blood stained underwear that shocked people. I don’t think it’s art. Art is subjective. I can only think she was a good at marketing herself
everybody grows up and changes. I hate journalists who try and ambush the person theyre interviewing. She more than managed to swat him off. Go Tracey.
I don't think he tried to ambush her. It was a fair exchange, as in she got to dispel the dumb prejudices that have been around for decades already - or maybe he did, but if so then he sucks at ambushing :D
Someone is recording here while she is screaming to the a canvas.tha is a comedy or the worsted tragedy I can't even imagine van Gogh doing that on his last painting
Be a successful human. Be a decent person. Don’t steamroll others, to get ahead. Worry about that, and the rest will come. Never be a slave to academia, buyers, and the b.s. Have a conscience.
The term art is now redefined by the 'art' market, the old masters were artists who produced 'master' pieces, whatever 'woke' piece is produced today to feed the 'market' is a stock/share piece for some investor. All the best to these artists and if it pacifies their psych, and increases their bank account, but their works are certainly no master pieces in the original sense of the words.
Cultural objects by artists simply have fantastic worth or not fantastic worth depending how critical the object is you simply are stuck in the 1400s time to move on old boy
@@adrianobastardiyes they are object, but not masterpieces of art. He is right, art has declined so much. The true skilled and tasteful art is gone, now its completely depressing what is being made... if was truly much better in the 1400s, it is strange to cling to todays depressing developments, just because its contemporary art. No we should go back to the qualities of old art and truly implement those in the contemporary world. We need to get back our sense of taste, and beauty.
@@Kapojoswe should, and yet look at how the institutions are fascinated by recent AI developments. I mean, the largest photography institutions are even promoting fake AI photo contests now…
This questioning about the bed being art of not, makes no sense, have these critics heard of Klein, Duchamp and the 1970s contemporary art?! What a weird conservative outlook on contemporary art honestly. So many artists like Sophie Calle have done similar things and nobody questions them. Very weird.
Though you could say, so what if it’s art, is it good art, does it excite, interest, elevate me? Having to ask is it art in the first place suggests there’s a vacuum where this intellectual element has to come in and try to fill the void. Which isn’t a comment on Tracy Emin, by the way. If I have to ask myself whether a packet of biscuits I decide to call art really is art … well I think a pretty good response is who gives who gives a shit if you call it art or not.
My friend Irving Rabinowitz says that this lady Tracy Emin has no talent! This is an absolute fluke or a secret CIA conspiracy. There is no way on G-d's green earth that this woman should have so much luck, money and fame! Irving says that she can't even draw!
It's interesting that the only artists who have videos and documentaries made about them are those small number of artists who are pulling a train of attention and sales and investment opportunities and so on. One never sees videos about normal un-famous and regular working artists. There's the fishy smell of opportunism wafting through almost every art video on RU-vid. I'd like to see some of the millions of artists who chose not to care so much about the world of expensive galleries and money. Frankly this artist doesn't impress me as terribly original or remarkably different. It's also very disappointing to see yet another artist seduced by money. I'm sure there are some other unknown, committed artist's out there who know what I mean.
@@moyrascott I will, thank you for your thoughtful reply. ( I am, sort of, my own RU-vid Video of a normal working artist-- without the video, haha) best wishes
It's just the algorithm recommending popular stuff to you. There are countless videos of all sorts of artists of all possible levels, right on this very platform.
@@biocykle yes, I'm sure you're right. I watch flint-knapping videos, railroad hobo travel videos, lots of other off- beat stuff. I'm just fatigued by the constant infatuation with glamour and fame. I've experienced just enough of it to know how it weirds up life. Thanks for your taking the time to make a considerate and thoughtful response. That's the best part of RU-vid, I think
the art is often offensive to the basic minded commercial world...... so when they recognize something.... that can help and artist rise! If its censored from the public by people who cant see its blessing ..... then what is one to do to get seen?
Maybe alcohol gave her rhe bravado to get the bravado to be really pushy, get herself heard. Fair enough, maybe thats how it needs to be. Chris Evens another example. Blur rock group alluded to Herion being a big part to their dutch courage in their bravado to push it impressively with the media,
I don't mind her doing her art whatever she feels and believe is art, but I do mind when the contemporary art elite excludes people with talent in drawing and painting
It's not just the artistic skills that are important, it's also what the artist has to say. And that is part of the process, which she has developed early on. Her work is remarkable because it expresses so much emotion. Try being that honest for 30 minutes! Most of us can't. And her drawing skills with paint! Wow I love what she is saying.
He just gave her a chance to publicly respond to the inane shit she has been taking for years... I thought it was benevolent. As the interviewer was explicitly talking about the flak she had had to take for her early pieces. She didn't seem to mind either. Yeah he was probably male though
Gonna Spend a few months 👻Ghosting The Highest Tradition of Painting There. Can I stay at yore gaffs for freetTracy-: I got my own tent and sleeping bag✍️😃👍👻✌️😎
My reason why would be because instead of being passionate about painting her focus, or passion, seems to be on healing - which necessarily doesn’t make for a good composition. It is a reflection of therapy not art … in my mind at least. It doesn’t improve the aesthetics of a room.
They interview her as if she’s a genius artist. She’s not 😂. And there’s no way anyone should hear about her abortions. Just shut up and have some privacy.
In her utterly authentic work, Tracey transforms bourgeois restraint, a restraint that is not practiced with benevolence but is the conspiratorial interest of a bourgeoisie turned against itself. It is an arrogant, weak-minded silence and useless denial that represents a behavioral disorder of the bourgeoisie that permeates all levels of our society. It is this misplaced reticence of a bourgeoisie that still circulates as a ghostly ideal that the art scene emulates. Sometimes it seems that some art collectors have a much freer attitude than most of the big ass dealers.
This was a while back, and the art world has changed dramatically since. Art has now gone woke, and is only promoting art work according to the gender, sexuality or ethnicity of the artist. If Da Vinci and Vermeer were alive today there work wouldn't even get mentioned, as they wouldn't tick any of the boxes! A crying shame for art.
The bed like the foutain asks the same question...is it art? only pershaps the bed adds gender and intimacy twist. Did Duchamp ever use the fountain? The paintings help pad out an art career or perhaps genuine therapy? The shop could be selling alternative save the planet products rather than than feeding consumerism. I dont need art or god i need peace and quiet.
