- Kunstner Tracey Emin og kurator Kari J. Brandtzæg har jobbet med utstillingen Sjelens ensomhet i mer enn fire år. I denne samtalen får vi høre mer om tankene og prosessen frem til ferdig utstilling. Samtalen fant sted på MUNCH i Oslo den 31.10.21.
Artist Tracey Emin and curator Kari J. Brandtzæg have worked on the exhibition The Loneliness of the Soul for over four years. In this conversation, we hear more about the thoughts and process that led to the exhibition.
This is sooooo beautiful. I could listen to these women for hours. Tracey is a discovery for me. Not sure about her art but her conversation is manna for all our places of loneliness and solitude too. I am sorry her boyfriend left. Maybe he came back....
I love and identify with you. A courageous women who has done it her way in spite what life has thrown her way. Another Sylvie Guillem. Munch is grateful.
Love Tracey. Authentic and refreshing
Yes, it's Munch's openness that drew her to him, that moves her. Well it's her openness that touches, that moves me so. I think it's very healing to feel moved and I was just writing about that. Then I came upon this, so moving that I have to watch in pieces. There is such a lesson here. About the value of such authenticity, of feeling touched in deep places familiar only to me. TY Tracey

Very touching testimony 💙
Definitely, usually always the case, the less known things are very often the best. Take Debussy as one example, they always play the same pieces,vwhen in actuality there's tons of other stuff that is far more interesting.
Was Munch really the first person in Norway to have a telephone or one of the first people in Norway to have a telephone? Was he the first person to have a Ford car, or one of the first people to have a Ford car? I know he was very interested in new technology and foresore the invention of the mobile phone; he wrote in a draft letter to his friend, the Danish painter Jens Willumsen, “Had I been in possession of the as yet undiscovered little remote telephone which one carries around in one’s pocket, you would have long ago received communications from me.”
That's more remarkable!
In her utterly authentic work, Tracey transforms bourgeois restraint, a restraint that is not practiced with benevolence but is the conspiratorial interest of a bourgeoisie turned against itself. It is an arrogant, weak-minded silence and useless denial that represents a behavioral disorder of the bourgeoisie that permeates all levels of our society. It is this misplaced reticence of a bourgeoisie that still circulates as a ghostly ideal that the art scene emulates. Sometimes it seems that some art collectors have a much freer attitude than most of the big ass dealers.
“Loneliness of the Soul” + “Dark Night of the Soul” + Spiritual Crisis” = Suicide & Nihilism (Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Sartre, Camus = David Foster Wallace) or Enlightenment (Thomas Byrom-Ashtavakra Gita, Alan Watts-Who am I = Osho’s Enlightenment experience). 😊

(he gets a commission from Amazon)?
come to Iceland in the darkness and rest through a winter or two (it's dark 18 hours a day)
When I talked the talk of a decent honest person I was demonised and cancelled.
I wasn't qualified to have and children either.
To have and raise children not for me either.
Pretty boring lol
