'The best thing about the term 'performance artist' is that it includes just about everything you might want to do.'

Laurie Anderson

Blake's Bedfellows

Tracey Emin (b. 1963) - My Bed, 1998


The Garden of Love

I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
And 'Thou shalt not' writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gown were walking their rounds,
Binding with briars my joys and desires.

William Blake (1757-1827)
