DEEDS CALENDAR: Tracey Emin: A Second Life – Tate Modern (London) | until 31.08.2026
Tate Modern presents until 31. August the largest ever survey exhibition celebrating the groundbreaking work of world-renowned artist Dame Tracey Emin (b.1963). Emin’s commitment to unapologetic self-expression has transformed our understanding of what art can be and continues to influence contemporary art today, using the female body to explore passion, pain and healing. Spanning her extraordinary 40-year practice – from seminal installations made in the 1990s, to recent paintings and bronzes going on display for the first time – A Second Life marks the most significant exhibition of Emin’s career, tracing the key life events that have shaped her journey and transformation. Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, it brings together over 100 works encompassing painting, video, textile, neon, sculpture and installation, demonstrating her raw approach to sharing experiences of love, trauma and personal growth.
