A brief canter through the life and work of one of Britain's most unbelievable artists.
Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller gives an exclusive insight into the live, nationwide memorial he created to mark the centenary of the start of the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 2016.
Jeremy Deller and Nick Abrahams' film shows the impact of Basildon's biggest cultural export, Depeche Mode, using the stories and voices of devotees from around the world. Plotting an alternative history in which pop culture is given its due, and Basildon helped end the cold war, the film uncovers extraordinary tales of faith and devotion from Iran, Russia, Romania and even England.
A film by Jeremy Deller that tells the story of Adrian Street, the son of a coal miner who decided to become a androgynous pro wrestler.
A new film written and directed by Jeremy Deller explores the social history of the UK between 1985 and 1993 through the lens of acid house and rave music. The film is based on a real-life lecture given to a class of students in London.
Jeremy Deller has a special ability to make people feel comfortable. This includes individuals who have varied and at times disturbing opinions. ‘Putin’s Happy’ does not address the feelings of the Russian leader directly, but instead documents the protests around Parliament Square in the wake of the vote for the UK to leave the European Union. The result is a montage of 42 minutes of the wilder, scarier, madder ends of Brexit. As well as allowing people to reveal some of their motivations through interviews, Deller unpicks the far-right visual imagery and accompanying narratives seeping into the protests through flags, banners, tattoos and scrawled messages. The often very angry Leave protestors are peppered with some surprisingly optimistic Remainers. These provide a light at the end of a very strange, very contemporary and very worrying tunnel.
