The work of Turner-Prize winning artist Jeremy Deller incorporates a wide range of forms including installations, videos, performances and music, and often involves collaborations with the public.
Deller is noted for strong, politically engaged works such as the bouncy castle replica of Stonehenge, Sacrilege, at the Olympic Park for London 2012 and The Battle of Orgreave, a re-enactment of a conflict that took place during the miner’s strike of 1984. David Allan Mellor interviewed Jeremy about this work for Photoworks Issue 17 and Photoworks Members can read this interview
Joy In People, a major survey exhibition of his work across two decades, appeared at the Hayward Gallery in 2012. Deller also initiated Acid Brass, a brass band playing classic acid house tracks, who performed at the opening of Tate Modern in 2000 and more recently at Tate Britain. He was selected to represent Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2013 with his show English Magic, which is now on tour.
