Tracey Emin’s first Scottish show since 2008 will offer an intimate encounter with love and hope, set against the domestic architecture and informal woodland of Jupiter Artland.
Imbued with connotations of both warmth and vulnerability and resonating with Tracey Emin’s belief of the ‘personal as political’, the exhibition will feature brand new work by the artist reflecting on the possibility of love after hardship.
Tracey Emin’s participation in Jupiter Artland’s 2022 season begins with the unveiling of I Lay Here For You, a six-metre bronze sculpture sited personally by the artist in an old-growth beech grove. Larger than life, powerful and at ease, the sculpture presents a radically different view of a woman’s place in nature, as well as creating a dialogue with the new work presented by the artist across Jupiter’s indoor gallery spaces.
A new publication featuring an interview between Tracey Emin and author Olivia Laing will accompany the exhibition drawing upon themes in the exhibition as well as a wider exploration of role of women artists in shaping our understanding of nature.
