Jeremy Deller
Kunstverein Munchen, Munich
The artist works on a broad spectrum of projects encompassing such diverse media as performance, film, video, posters and publications. In his works Deller is often concerned with socially marginalized groups and their cultural productions. Thus, not only the creative potential, but also the subversive qualities inherent in cultural processes of the everyday become visible.
A retrospective
The current Turner Prize laureate Jeremy Deller (*1966, London) will
present his worldwide first retrospective at Kunstverein München in
October/November 2005. The show includes all major works from 1993
until today: from early poster projects (1993) to the fan-project The
Uses of Literacy (1998) to the monumental re-enactment of the miners'
strike of 1984/85 in The Battle of Orgreave (2001/2004).
At the interface between artist, curator, and producer, Deller works
on a broad spectrum of projects encompassing such diverse media as
performance, film, video, posters and publications. In his works
Deller is often concerned with socially marginalized groups and their
cultural productions. Thus, not only the creative potential, but also
the subversive qualities inherent in cultural processes of the
everyday become visible. Deller's oeuvre sidesteps the simplifying and
socially excluding distinctions between high, popular and folk art and
by focussing on specific social scenes counters the official gaze of
historiography with alternative narratives and local histories.
In 2004 Jeremy Deller was awarded the Turner Prize, the most
prestigious British prize for contemporary art.
