    i made exactly the same comment on one of stuckstuckstuck’s videos about Charles Thomson. Although admitedly a little childish, I felt Mr Thomson had appeared to be smug and self satisfied in a newsnight item and commented as such.

    I brought this on myself!
    :P

    Trace of course being renowned for her exemplary lack of any trace (excuse pun) of smugness or self-satisfaction!

    haha fair point my friend, I am not particularly for or against Ms Emin, this video was uploaded because it contained our music and I wanted to show some friends over the water.

    we will agree to disagree on the matter of Mr Thomson.

  • Stuckstuckstuck:

  • curzmg:

    I think this is unfair because it’s treated as though Tracy Emin is individual. As though she has seen something most don’t, she hasn’t. We’ve all been down and we’ve all changed over time. It is not fair that her messy bed is valued any higher than anyone else’s messy bed.

  • NirvanaBabe89:

    its not that shes the only one who has been through hard times, its the way she has chosen to vent about it.
    im sure if you had exhibited your messy bed before she did there would have been just as much talk. and i think to appreciate the bed you need to actually see it, and understand exactly why she did it. its not just an unmade bed, it speaks volumes about her relationwhips and alcoholism, and to be fair its really honest.

  • curzmg:

    It’s about relationships and alcoholism in the most shallow way possible. What she did should be respected no more than ‘oh that’s pretty cool’ and a five minute perusal of her work. It just doesn’t say anything beyond the obvious. I can’t just take a bit of life out of context and call it art, there is no skill involved. xXx

  • AliceEl1zabeth:

    what the HELL, why can’t everyone see how STUPID this is? Are you all BLIND???

  • 200021a:

    They must all be blind lol.

  • 007bondspy:

    i have fucked her she is a good ride

  • 007bondspy:

    Dont talk shit.

  • 007bondspy:

    People like you know nothing about sex

  • Laimy88:

    Arts about adding something new to the cannon(Artworld). Picasso with the cubes during a time when these delicate romantic paintings were to be expected. That is just one of the many contemporary art pieces, it has a personal concept of past endevours with Tracy, and as artist you can grow from that form of expression. For those of you who don’t have an eye for art , and say ‘I could have done that’..ask yourself why didn’t you.

  • plopgoesthetap:

    The answer to that question you tell me to ask myself, is that I’m not an egotistical idiot.

  • myminaturedelights:

    @Laimy88 The best answer on here !

  • scottishnationalist:

    Dear Tracy Emin,

    If you are reading this could you please make art by harming yourself.

    Thank you
