TRACEY EMIN: 20 YEARS

No other contemporary artist made us ponder the 'is it art?' question quite like Emin. Her first major UK retrospective is the talk of the town, and among the works on display is her infamous unmade bed and Come Unto Me (right).

Hi, I was wondering how close Tracy's film 'Top Spot' was to the Novel VIRGINITY "is that it?" by Karen Louise Taylor, but not set in Margate in the eighties but a small seaside town called Redcar in the 1980's of five girls coming of age and the sixth committing suicide in the Bathroom. And the nightclub called ‘Top Deck’? Released in 2002? Now a titled film “is that it?”
