1/2 Tracey Emin on Louise Bourgeois: Women Without Secrets - Secret Knowledge

[@themovingdance2744]

“It is not a torment to be an artist it is a privilege”, Bourgeois I said it is a luxury to have time to think deeply and express that creatively. I will do an MA in contemporary art and history with a foundation because I know I am an artist

[@djermeow3136]

"...it is not a torment to be an artist: it is a privilege!"

[@jrock8525]

So true

[@motherofallemails]

what about Francis bacon?

[@wackyvoid]

Saying there's no torment to being an artist but still carrying resentment in her heart after all those years.. A fascinating woman, I wish I could hear her elaborate more on the theme of the suffering artist and human suffering in general. Maybe she meant that even though life can be painful, suffering is a choice

[@pinkpanther7030]

Art can be therapeutic and cathartic for the artist who makes it. But it can also be a bluff or illusion.

[@petre.w.487]

....Louise was right, an artist may be tormented, but by accepting that life he/she is privileged !!...

[@lizzielay8043]

The title at 12:45 is incorrect. While Bourgeois did have a retrospective at the MoMA in 1982, she was not the first woman artist to. Georgia O'Keeffe was the first woman artist to have a retrospective at the MoMa in 1946.

GEORGIA OKEEFFE RULES!

[@SLOtsuji]

I adore Tracy Emin, and will have a great appreciation of Louise Bourgeois when I’m done watching his video, I’m sure.

[@pinkpanther7030]

Louise I can't help adding that I love your sense of humour. The Greek people do that too. I mean smashing crockery😊

[@metronomeblues1028]

You can see why it's so hard to be an artist AT ALL in any era reading all the horrific, judgemental comments here. One has to have such self-belief and foot-thick skin to be able to weather all the bullshit thrown at you. Even when you're successful, the shit flies thick and fast. Like her work or not, respect her ability to make a living out of what she loves. End of story.

[@goyonman9655]

Nah Being an artist is too privileged a position to be wasted on ugly perversity The worst kind of artist is the one who feels morally righteous and indignant for rebrlling against common sensibilities

[@parkbtao]

I enjoyed this video. thank you for uploading.

Lucky for you that you met her. Must have been quite an emotional experience.

10:24..this is insane. who does she think she is?

[@alysfreeman11]

Who Tracey? if so never taken to her....in my eyes she isn't real artist but a pretender like Hirst well connected an networked. Louise...magical artist.

[@beachlife2968]

You have to get in Tracey's Zen like state to understand hehehe. You have skilled artists that let their work do the talking then you have people like Tracey that has no skill that has to bullshit talk her work up of how meaningful it is and needs to put an erect cocks in her paintings to shock and get it noticed. Bad artist but the elite have fell for the bs.

[@Dale_Blackburn]

@@beachlife2968 she is not an artist at all

To think that British art critics and museum curators practically spit on Jack Vettriano, yet how they always hail Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst as if they were the second coming of Georgia O'Keeffe and Francis Bacon is just absurd to me. I guess one can just blame Marcel Duchamp for all this and that other no-talent hack, Jeff Koons.

[@jamesfinch895]

scottiemcnichols jack veterinary is the hack if u ask me. His prints are destined for the lobbies of cheap hotels and care homes.

[@blackeesh463]

Duchamp was a bloody genius

[@anoshya]

Bourgeois comes across as a very bitter angry person

[@DG-mv6zw]

She's a french feminist. There's 2 valid reasons to be bitter! Her mood dramatically improved when she died, though.

[@AP-jg1sb]

because she got recognition in her 80s.. that's tough

[@ajtaylor6505]

With the death of her son a few years earlier it seems to me that the Typtich for a Red Room is an emotional response to that, no?

[@willylewis1]

Poor Tracey. How wonderful she believes herself to be. Louise Bourgeois’s stuff looks like art school output from the seventies.

[@dimitrisgonatas2264]

It is a bad fortune to be a male artist in UK while Tracy is in charge where is the male tormented artist from women they have disappear

[@abiegreyvenstein4123]

The only talent a modern artist has, is salesmanship.

[@doppelbanger5797]

Bourgeois and Emin are not in the same league, Emin has no mastery of materials, not even a rudimentary grasp

[@jupiterinaries6150]

Bourgeois doesnt agree with you.

[@cliffordadams8353]

all that torture Lighten up..It’s the art of deception Grovelling crap. She could have been an astronaut 😱

[@abiegreyvenstein4123]

Obviously this is not art. It is "modern" art. Another word for "non" art.

+Ivor Biggun ....and who are you to say she isn't ?......I have not heard about any of your work yet ! It could be very good.....but until you get some recognition by your peers it would be better to stay quite and watch, listen and learn !!..

[@1911m1a1ellis]

Petre .W. She cannot paint or sculpt or even draw, you muppet.

[@petre.w.487]

Ivor Biggun Ha ! I suppose you can !!

[@1911m1a1ellis]

Petre .W. Actually, yes, I can. And more. Unfortunately I can't shag around, get pissed and bullshit.

[@petre.w.487]

Ivor Biggun Well I know you can do one of those things,... so try working on the other two !!.. The modern art market seems to have nothing to do with an interpretation of the world around us expressing that with an artistic skill a lot of the time. Now it is enough to have an idea and get someone else to do the work that takes some skill. Everything seems to be controlled by one or two big collectors, and they determine the market as they release and buy !!

[@jre8339]

The world has gone absolutely crazy! Both these people’s art is rubbish crap, but cos someone says it’s genius then the world goes crazy and thinks it is. Wake up Tracy and take your head out of your arse! It’s all rubbish and good skilful artists are suffering cos of it. Total crazy!!!

[@jupiterinaries6150]

Yet if tracy was a young inner-city black kid you'd probably be praising her art as genius and original.

[@DG-mv6zw]

This is the only time the name "Tracy Emin" has been associated with good art! 😄 They only chose Emin for the documentary to make Bourgeois look less ugly!

[@dr.reidsheftalltruthinscie2007]

Tracey... The eggs don't hang on to the womb.. they are in the ovaries which are not attached to the womb. I know its artistic expression but it loses expression (not gains it) when you mis -interpret it so grossly. Yes it is possible Bourgeois had no understanding of human anatomy but this would be awfully lazy given your description of her...ps collaborating on art kind of takes away from the whole purpose of creating art in the first place...

[@jupiterinaries6150]

What is the purpose of creating art?

[@aspiknf]

@@jupiterinaries6150 There are many purposes...fun, help during depression, attention seeking, to stop boredom are some purposes

[@joannamortreux1]

while you may understand anatomy you seem to misunderstand the creative nature of collaboration.

[@billsmith380]

All art is a scam. Art died in the 60's , everything since has been a copy or reflection of what has already been done. Art Historian and Philosopher A. Danto upon viewing Warhol's brillo pad art declared that art was dead. But Art had been dying for some time and no greater example was Artist Piero Manzoni's 1961 exhibition of tinned feces, Then Warhol's brillo pad, and then the last gasp of art was in the decay of the 70's. Now the Tombstone has been placed on Art by the A.I. generated Pseudomnesia: The Electrician and won the Sony Contest. A.I. now generates better art than humans. ART IS DEAD. Just because an artist uses a penis or vagina does not make it art. It is boring and amateurish and lacking imagination. ART IS DEAD.

[@thiagotallmann59]

louise bourgeois propagates a horrible outlook on life. many people that made bad traumatic experiences feel drawn to her naturally as she glorifies dark entities within a misconception of getting power over them once you make them conscious when in reality she just reinforces them, reinitiates them. her art is demonic. several of her sculptures were inspired by serial killer victims. if you dwelve into this aesthetically youre entangled into misery and in for bad surprises in your life. her art is vampiristic, it draws the energy out of you, except for when you become a energy vampire yourself.

[@dyrekvellnagel3011]

This just shows us how the tortured souls of the feminists reach out. They are deluded and not worth the hype. P.S. I am not a mysoginist nor a straight male. It is just my opinion.
