Tracey Emin: Love is What You Want

Absolutely awful exhibition, such a waste of time and money! If you think of used tampons and an abandoned shoe as an art this is for you! Otherwise, if you are more into the REAL art DO NOT GO THERE! I was quite angry after the exhibition and felt robbed. I never asked for my money back, but in this instance I have tried to but failed :(

I loved it.

Not for the faint of heart, this show is for those with a deep dedication for art. Powerful and distressing, it opens maybe a window too many into the artist's disturbing early life.

I guess I just don't get Tracey Emin and will give up trying. It's all just endlessly about her [SO WHAT!?] and felt a bit like sitting through a tedious show of someone else's holiday snaps. I remember a wonderful ah ha moment when I suddenly got what Damien Hurst was on about and hoped for one here, but I was just very bored.

There was a letter from her in the exhibition, in which she told her friend about a museum of "her life and her art". It neatly sums up the whole Emin experience - an extended episode of big brother, her life as art. There are far better work done on abortion, sex, money etc. Perhaps none was well financed and slickly packaged though

Make sure you catch this, I was truly impressed & moved. Review can be found here http://tinyurl.com/3htb5cy

The show opens on the 18th May - please can you ammend the day because I work at the gallery and we will have lots of unhappy visitors otherwise,
thanks, Sandra
