"I STOPPED PAINTING WHEN I WAS PREGNANT. THE SMELL OF THE OIL PAINTS AND THE TURPS MADE ME FEEL PHYSICALLY SICK, AND EVEN AFTER MY TERMINATION, I COULDN'T PAINT. IT'S LIKE I NEEDED TO PUNISH MYSELF BY STOPPING THE THING I LOVED DOING THE MOST. I HATED MY BODY; I WAS SCARED OF THE DARK; I WAS SCARED OF BEING ASLEEP. I WAS SUFFERING FROM GUILT AND PUNISHING MYSELF, SO I THREW MYSELF IN A BOX AND GAVE MYSELF THREE AND A HALF WEEKS TO SORT IT OUT. AND I DID. MY ONLY REGRET ABOUT THIS PROJECT WAS THAT I DIDN'T CARRY ON PAINTING FROM THAT MOMENT. IT TOOK ME ANOTHER FIVE YEARS BEFORE I STARTED PAINTING AGAIN."
Tracey Emin
After a traumatic period in the early 90s with two abortions, Tracey Emin could not physically stand the thought of painting and wanted to face her troubled relationship with the medium. Through fish-eye lenses in the exterior walls of the room, visitors could follow glimpses of Emin’s process. The entire collection of artworks and objects in the room were preserved as an installation, which are all exhibited here in their original constellation.
The paintings and drawings that Emin created in the process refer to and appropriate works by male artists Egon Schiele, Yves Klein, Edvard Munch, and Pablo Picasso. Historically, women’s access to the artist’s studio have been as models, not artists. The representation of women has been a male affair, where the female nude stands out as the most distinct example of the objectification of the female body. Further, Emin documented the performance in the photographic series The Life Model Goes Mad, in which she takes on the role of the model in her own studio, reclaiming female identity and sexuality.
Exorcism of the Last Painting I Ever Made stands out as a pivotal work and predecessor to a line of works, in which Emin uses her own life, trauma, and emotions as a means of expression, with the most widely recognized piece being My Bed (1998). In this work, Emin positions herself in the double role as both model and artist, challenging the universal acceptance of women as objects of the male gaze.
Fueled unapologetically by the intimate and personal, Emin offers up universal themes of love, loss, desire, and grief, the constructs of self and the female experience.
This exhibition at Faurschou New York marks the first time that this seminal work of art is exhibited in the United States.

Came here on September 19, 2017.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most important museums in the world. With the influence of American imperialism, it has collected cultural relics and artworks from various civilizations around the world through plunder. Most of these exhibits are representative cultural relics of various civilizations. I believe that every visitor will feel mixed emotions here.

The entire museum is classified according to different civilizations on different continents. Because everyone knows the origin of the collections, the exhibition is very simple and crude, that is, putting the things of a civilization in one place, without any good narrative, it is completely a &quot;trophy&quot; display.

There are many collections here. If you want to see them carefully, you need to spend one or two days. The museum is next to Central Park, and the two places can also be arranged to visit in one day, half a day in the park and half a day in the museum.

The representative of New York, USA, has two routes to take. We went up by ferry, and there is also a speedboat, but this is the most cost-effective. We went there at 2 pm, and there were not many people, so it was just right to come back. If you go in the morning, there are more tour groups and the queue will be very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.
