Billy Childish vs Tracey Emin

Pookie · 04.06.2007, 06:46 AM

Art or Arse? You be the judge.

One is an over hyped, overrated, dull as dishwater, talentless artist. The other has a funny moustache.

But which do you like best? Whose tears would have been falling on to your shoulder had you been there at the time of the split?

Is there really a man/woman divide as I suspect from drunken arguments with friends?

Tracey Emin isn't as bad as her critics claim but is vastly overrated as an artist. Her film 'Top Spot' was dreadful she really should stick to what shes knows. Its not that I don't like her its just she has become the poster child for working class phillestines, who constantly bring up her fucking Unmade bed and show their ignornace of art. Not only that but I think artists shouldn't be overly autobiographical

Billy Childish is the 'stuckism' guy right? Can someone explain that please?

The Stuckists basically think that if you don't paint then you're not an artist.

Emin's just a loud-mouthed twat. Childish is a reactionary prick. If either have any substance, it's certainly not Childish. Because he's clearly a prick.

i dislike both in equal measure.

Great moustache though. And where does he get his grandad shirts?

well there's one photo by emin that i like called i've got it all, it's quite funny

but aside from that she's a bit too into herself to be interesting i think.
i like the idea of the stuckists, the trouble is is that they are all really crap, none of them can paint at all.

I think Tracy Emin is one of those who puts people off art, shes like Amy Winehouse with lottery funding.
