Tracey Emin The Memory of your Touch
British visual artist Tracey Emin(1963) studied at Maidstone College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London.
Inspired by inner experiences, dreams and personal life events, her oeuvre feels very intimate, emotional, humorous and honest. The elements of sexual provocation and feminism have caused some controversy.
Painting, drawing, video, installation, photography, needlework and sculpture are being used to convey all the aspects of the human condition, from love to pathos.
In 1999 Emin's installation My Bed was nominated for the Turner Prize. Between 2009 and 2011 the artist worked together with Louise Bourgeois. Her autobiographical work has been shown at the Biennale in Venice(2007), Victoria & Albert Museum(2010), the Hayward Gallery(2011), Malba(2012), Lehmann Maupin(2013), the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami (2013), the White Cube(2014) and Tate Britain(2015).
The Memory of your Touch, Emin's current exhibition at Xavier Hufkens, refers to a line in D.H. Lawrence’s novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928). The show includes video art, paintings, bronze sculptures and neon texts.
