Great debate: Saturday, April 17, 7:30 p.m., World-Dreams Capitole 1 Leone

With  Kathleen Bühler, curator Contemporary Art, Museum of Fine Arts Bern

Reprocessing Reality – from museums and contemporary art galleries to the film festival: welcome Tracey Emin, a famous British artist. Her work is provocative, passionate, addictive and leaves no-one indifferent! It comprises tapestries, works with neon, bold installations of radical realism (see her famous “My Bed”), drawings, paintings, epistolary writings, photographs… and video films ! It is these intimist, demanding and seductive video films that Tracey Emin has entrusted to the care of Visions du Réel. Presented for the first time in their entirety! A collaborative venture between the Bern Kunstmuseum, which presented “Tracey Emin 20 Years” in 2009 (curator Kathleen Bühler) and Visions du Réel.
