Jess Baxter on Tracey Emin's Second Life
from Standard Issue Podcast Hosted by Standard Issue
Dame Tracey Emin burst onto the art scene in the 1990s and controversy has followed her ever since. Like in 1999, when her Turner Prize-nominated My Bed caused a media frenzy. Emin's raw, autobiographical and confessional work is very personal yet also platforms the wider female experience through its themes of abuse, sexuality, poverty, and reproductive rights. Jen chats to Jess Baxter, assistant curator of major new exhibition Tracey Emin: A Second Life at the Tate Modern, about the artist, her work, and the expression of the female experience.
