Tracey Emin represents Britain at the 52nd Venice Biennale
7 Jun 2007
Tracey Emin is representing Britain at the 52nd Venice Biennale, 2007. The artist has produced new work especially for the British Pavilion, using a wide variety of media - from needlework, photography and video to drawing, painting, sculpture and neon. The Venice Biennale will provide an opportunity to see new work by Emin. Tracey will be the second female artist ever to represent the UK at the Venice Biennale the first was Rachel Whiteread in 1997.
Andrea Rose Director of Visual Arts, The British Council and Commissioner for the British Pavilion said ‘Tracey’s work goes from strength to strength. She’s a storyteller with an extraordinary ability to scratch away the surfaces to what lies below. This is a great moment to see her work in the context of the Venice Biennale, where her work will be shown in an international context and at a distance from the YBA generation with which she came to prominence’
