Tracey Emin RA

A furore has already erupted over that zebra at the RA Summer Exhibition (next post down). It's an automaton by Mat Collishaw depicting his former girlfriend on her knees receiving the zebra's amorous attentions up the rear. (Safe to assume theirs wasn't an amicable breakup.) It was selected for the show by Tracey Emin RA (yes, RA!) who curated the room of "outrage". Her selections also include a photo of a woman's genitalia during menstruation and a video of a woman being lacerated by a barbed-wire hula-hoop. Why didn't someone have the sense to blackball Emin? Allen Jones's Derriere shown here is one of the more tasteful selections. Groan!
