Tracey Emin has been at the epicenter of the London art scene since the 80s, when she was counted among the Young British Artists who were earning copious amounts of both critical acclaim and media attention. From October 12 to 17, she is showing new work during Frieze London as part of an installation at Shreeji Newsagents, which was reimagined in 2020 as part of a partnership with Air Mail. On October 22, Emin will open an exhibition called “The Loneliness of the Soul,” at the new Munch Museum, in Oslo. On the occasion, she reveals the key components to the good life. —Ashley Baker
