Jeremy Deller

Jeremy Deller is a British artist whose films, installations and collaborative projects explore the connections between music, politics and social history. Born in London in 1966, he studied art history before developing a practice centred on participation and collective experience. Projects such as Acid Brass and The Battle of Orgreave bring popular culture and historical events into new settings. Deller won the Turner Prize in 2004 and represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2013 with English Magic. His work gives everyday creativity and shared cultural memory a central place in contemporary art.
