An intimate memoir by the acclaimed and controversial artist who creates controversy and strikes chords wherever she or her art go.
A deeply personal insight into a beautiful mind. Tracey Emin's 'Strangeland' is her own space, lying between the Margate of her childhood, the Turkey of her forefathers, and her own, present private/public life in London. Born in 1963, she left school at fifteen but later studied Art at Maidstone College and the Royal College of Art. Now a renowned artist, her work is exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the world. Several pieces, including 'Everyone I Have Ever Slept With', were featured in the 1997 'Sensation' exhibition at the Royal Academy, and in 1999 her work 'My Bed' was short-listed for the Turner Prize.
Although known for her visual art, Tracey Emin's confessional writings have formed the backbone to her work, but her only publications have been limited editions. 'Strangeland' draws together new and revised work from the past 25 years. A combination of memoirs and confessions, her writing is deeply intimate, yet powerfully engaging. Tracey retains a profoundly romantic world view, paired with uncompromising honesty.
