Guided tours for universities - Tracey Emin. Sex and Solitude

The exhibition Tracey Emin. Sex and Solitude is an opportunity to get in touch with the work of an artist renowned for her direct and raw approach. Tracey Emin creates works in which intimate and private moments are transformed into existential metaphors reflecting on sexuality or illness, loneliness or love. Through an honest and strongly autobiographical research, Emin translates personal experiences into intense and powerful works, in which the direct and explicit language of her famous neon phrases combines with the strong materiality of her paintings and sculptures.

The tour dedicated to students at universities and art academies is divided into the different expressive languages characteristic of Tracey Emin: painting, neon, sculpture, embroidery. A thematic itinerary in which the representation of the body, the tale of the self, the theme of sexuality and loneliness, trauma and motherhood resonate in multiple forms.

The exhibition itinerary will allow the visitor to deepen, also by reading extracts from interviews, the thought of this artist whose works have had such a disruptive impact that they have become art icons in the last few decades.
