Strangeland by Tracey Emin Sceptre £14.99, pp208 Tracey Emin is at a strategic disadvantage when it comes to writing her autobiography - we know most of the juicy bits already. There's some pretty shocking stuff in Strangeland. If anything, it's more to do with marketing because without any doubt more people know who Tracey Emin is and know some of her art than those who know of Billy Childish. The question of whose art is the better doesn't come into it, however, and neither does commerciality or even originality. The pure and unsullied Ying to her 'sold to the highest bidder' Yang.

Up there if not better than being nominated for the Turner Prize? The thing was, I didn't feel compelled to go in there and to actually view the show. I remember there being an exhibition of Tracey Emin's artwork in Amsterdam once, and on the outside of the Van Gogh Museum a gigantic banner advertising the show had been hung and I remember stopping to look at it and thinking that's an impressive achievement for an artist to have their name outside the Van Gogh Museum like that. It's a delicate balance - a juggling act - but I manage it in the same way that I like Francis Bacon whilst not being a big fan of his art - or his studio. There is a proviso, however, in that I'm not a big fan of her art, particularly her installations.
