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!!!

[@j.harrison6744]

Take your meds.

[@mariadelaart5897]

She’s so authentic and honest which is rare.

[@LyahisabelLopezdardano-ec3ts]

An applouse to you for succeeding. It is not about liking it is about what does it mean and how it works and if you can relate to it. You’ve come so far. It is brave to stick to your art and do it. It is easy to go get a job and get paid for it even if it pays terrible. But to actually face the fact that you keep going on this path to be productive and successful and ignore people telling you that you’ll starve if you are an artist. That takes guts. That’s why my art can be amazingly good but no one gets to indulge it because it is hidden and unless I am brave enough to show it the world will continue on without it. So good for you. Jennifer Dardano

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. ❤😊❤

What Tracey says about abortions is absolutely true

[@jl.7739]

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.

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.

[@DavinaShefet]

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.

[@stalkek]

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.

[@samzeroe7440]

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.

[@adrianobastardi]

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

[@Kapojos]

​@@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.

[@cha-dum-yen]

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,

[@BrianMorrisPhoto]

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?

[@pkpapers]

The bed "is more seminal."

[@davidrobinson9507]

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 KZbin. 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.

[@jlquijano3616]

[@abstract3213]

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

[@susand484]

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.

1st lesson....do not make your bed.

[@usacut6968]

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.

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

[@DavinaShefet]

What does having a shop have to do with artistic integrity? Ridiculous, Artists who are remembered in art history have all been business people

I read it as the interviewer purposefully throwing some clichéd prejudiced opinions at Emin so that she could counter them

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.
