ARTIST OF THE WEEK: Les Inoubliables Prises D’Autonomie - Neïl Beloufa

ART WORK OF THE WEEK: Tracy Emin - The Perfect Place To Grow

The art work lends its name to the RCA 175 exhibition which opened last week.

In the work, the viewer climbs to a shed-like structure and peers through a hole in order to observe the artists father as filmed on a Super 8 camera. Beneath are plants and a trestle constructed by the artists father placed next to a full watering can.
