i was arguing about this with a friend the other day, there seems to be a consensus that if something gets people talking it muust be a good thing, which i disagree with, that line of thought smacks of desperate attention seeking. i've never heard anybody say anything good about tracey emin's bed, i think while all this talk has no doubt done good things for her bank balance i think it is ultimately very detrimental to contemporary art as a whole, for a myriad of reasons. not to mention that as a piece of work it is lazy, vapid, unimaginative and narcissistic.
