[MD] Tracey Emins take on what is Art

[kieffer odigaunt]

Hi Lu,

i don't think Tracey was saying that all expression is art either - but
perhaps all art is expressive. What i understood was that she thought art
was a deliberate externalization and is dependent on context. I thought her
response to the question about the clock was both humorous and incisive.

Whether you like or dislike Tracey's art she has managed, by luck or skill
or both, to get in the public eye and make a life for herself in art. She
comes over as a serious artist and one who embraces the concomitant bohemian
lifestyle to boot.
