Hayle has been selected to premiere a film created by controversial artist Tracy Emin and will be the only venue in Britain where the film can be seen before it is exhibited at the Festival of International Contemporary Art in Barcelona.

The film, called 'Top Spot' which depicts the coming of age of a girl in the coastal resort of Margate, is being shown in the Salt Gallery in Hayle. There will be two showings of the film at 11:00am and 2:00pm, Tuesday to Saturday until 7th September .


Tracy Emin

Tracey Emin said: "This film, I hope, relates to lots of young people whether they live by the sea or in an urban city. It's about the moment of understanding that you're not innocent any more. Understanding that you're walking into an adult world, which means sex, which means often violence and which means that you may have a perspective on your own life that you never had before."
