My Bed ~ after Tracey Emin

My Bed ~ after Tracey Emin

"Tracey Emin shows us her own bed, in all its embarrassing glory. Empty booze bottles, fag butts, stained sheets, worn panties: the bloody aftermath of a nervous breakdown. By presenting her bed as art, Tracey Emin shares her most personal space, revealing she's as insecure and imperfect as the rest of the world."
The Saatchi Gallery

I used a photo of her bed and two parts of the movie "Emak Bakia" made by Man Ray in 1926.

So we can say art shows the artists emotions this message and that

Then we can say the viewers perceptions this and that of the art

I like to say there are allot of stupid time wasters who produce stupid shit that they then go call art.

Stupid people in the world produce stupid art.

@acorntechnique an opinion cannot be "correct" an opinion is- an opinion! Fair enough, it may not be your bag but look outside the box- you'll be amazed what you find.

This is a prime example of why I am against the turner centre in Margate when stuff like this is prouldy called "art"

It's embarrasing and this isnt the 1st of it's kind. a few years back Margate had a small art Gallery in the old town which featured a paper mache girl being sick in a shoe being displayed in the window.

These poxy art gallieries serve no pupose to the people who live in margate whatsoever. Sure they had 100.000 visitors but people will gather to any event if you plug it enough

Furthermore I know my comment and opinion is correct and valid because

A. This video has been up for more than a year yet has attracted only 9 comments, including my 2 just now.

The lack of comments shows general lack of interest.

I rest my case.

This simply is not art.

It's just an unmade bed with a mess beside it.

What is the art world coming to when nonsense such as this is masquerading as and parading as 'art'

Total nonsense which beggars believe.

It's about her depression.

[amishfriendshipbread]

I actually really love her work. People who don't are concrete thinkers -not in a good way.

I like the bit on Man ray in the beginning, except to compare the two is almost embarrassing for whoever made this movie... and not just because of the background music.

While she was at it, she could have shown them the contents of her unflushed toilet bowl and her pile of used tampons.

[Muskadash]

What a load of bollocks. Tracey Emin is crap, and I laugh at anyone who says they like her work.

[eltonjohntribute]

It isn't really as intimate as it appears to be. By bringing the bed into a gallery she has chosen what to show and what to hide about herself. If she had invited people into her house to view the bed, the work would have been more complete. In my view.
