Tracey Emin’s art has an extremely emotional character. Her paintings, sculptures, neon lights and embroideries become bearers of intimate stories, fragments of personal life, sometimes even painful ones. Entering into dialogue with Emin’s art and his inner world, we experimented with the production of a Kit to accompany the visit: an interpretative material designed by a group of young international students from Istituto Marangoni in Florence, with the aim of talking about difficult emotions and words.
Sex and loneliness, abortion and rebirth, passion and obsession, are some of the binomials on which the different sections of the kit develop, offering interpretative keys to the exhibition rooms. Through an emotional journey through Tracey Emin’s vocabulary, the kit invites us to reflect on art’s capacity to communicate intense and profound emotions, at times even conflicted, and suggests food for thought for approaching the works of the great British artist.
Notes on Sex and Solitude is available at the entrance to the exhibition in digital or printed format and is aimed at all visitors to the exhibition.
