It may be anti-art, but they're all mad for it
Article Abstract:
The Dokumenta avant-garde art exhibition, which is held every five years, reflects the very strong interest in avant-garde art in Germany. The 1997 event, which is being held in Kassel, Germany, is costing 7 million pounds sterling to stage, and covers the work of 250 artists from around the world. Many of these artists are not the most fashionable in international contemporary art, and are not represented by influential galleries. Parts of the exhibition are very hard to understand, but others are quite enjoyable.

'I'll sing about love till I'm 45 and fat.' (lyricist Stephen Jones)(Interview)
Article Abstract:
It is not necessary to write about sex in order to produce a successful pop song, according to lyricist Stephen Jones, whose recently formed band BabyBird has been highly acclaimed for the song 'You're Gorgeous.' He spent some time as a performance artist, and now mixes cabaret mannerisms with an extremely powerful stage presence. His songs are often aggressive and sick-humoured, but are also tender and extremely surreal. During live performances, he tends to bait the audience, and can then turn against it.

A Tart for her Art ...
Article Abstract:
Artist Tracey Emin has brought many of her own experiences into her work. Her first exhibition, which she entitled 'My Major Retrospective,' was extremely emotional, bringing warm humanism into the generally very cold world of art. After that exhibition, she began gaining true recognition as an artist, and since then has staged many other exhibitions. She also does readings, and has opened a museum, which is a kind of open studio, in Waterloo Road, London, England.
