Good. He's OK. I just like Carline and Hiller. I wanted to mention them.

this is the thing by tracey emin that i like

"I've Got It All"

Are you guys sure you don't like her work, 'cause I've got the feeling it's her cuntish face that pisses you all off?

[porkmarras]

She's like one of those really annoying girls who wants to appear kooky in order to get some attention and whenever they don't get they go:''Oh but i'm a girl!'' if you ask me.

a friend of a friend of my housemate went to art school with emin and he told me she must have told him the story of how she got an abortion about 50 times over the course of 3 years.

[porkmarras]

I'm not surprised.Did you watch her on tv when she was pissed on that Will 'my cuntish' Self program?

[Toilet & Bowels]

no, what happened. will self is a twat too.

[porkmarras]

It was on one of those channel 4 'art wank chat' programs that Will 'you shut your gob' Self presents sometimes.She turned up so twatted and in an agrressive mood so the other guests and the host himself kept on ignoring her and at one point she went like:'' you don't know anything and i'm gonna go and call my mum'' and left there and then.Highly entertaining.

I think Tracey Emin's very cool as an artist and as a person.

The Holocaust stuff was serving a purpose, I thought. I like all of her work though.

[porkmarras]

She totally lacks substance.AND.THAT.IS.NOT.BECAUSE.SHE.IS.A.GIRL!

[Hip Priest]

I like her subject matter (forgotten memories, life after death, all that).

[porkmarras]

Oh totally.No argument about that.She comes up with things i have interest in myself but the problem is in the way she executes them.

if you're talking about hiller then the only thing of hers i've seen is that thing i saw last year (the renaming of streets thing), is that indicative of her work in general?

[Hip Priest]

I think she uses found objects in a very interesting way; I find myself drawn into other people's little (unknown) histories by her works.

[Tokolosh]

Agreed.

[porkmarras]

There's also sitting in the pub chatting to strangers for that.And it's not overpriced clutter either.

[Hip Priest]

But the people in her works are people from the past whom I'm never likely to meet. I'd almost certainly never have encountered their stories any other way.

[porkmarras]

I'm a bit confused.Who are we talking about here?
