Parkett Vol. 95
Quote from Parkett
"Deller's works have followed both directions: the industrial history of Britain and the world of entertainment and spectacle which he has explored in both large and small scale. As an artist interested in creating events rather than objects, he has a sense of belonging to this contemporary moment: "I don't make things," Deller has said. "I make things happen."
Dawn Ades, Parkett No. 95, 2014
Additional Quote
“Jeremy Deller’s multi-faceted practice incorporates forms of social investigation and archival research, often celebrating British popular and vernacular culture. Documenting various elements of modern society as well as cultural motif and natural phenomenon, Deller’s work “questions official histories.” This portfolio of five six-color silkscreen prints contains images from various film and installation projects of Deller’s including an owl from English Magic (2013), a group of bats against the sunset from Exodus (2012), and the live re-enactment of riot police clashing with striking mineworkers in The Battle of Orgreave (2001).” -Artspace

“There is something ironic about a massive, bold billboard in the center of a city, calling for more poetry. Poetry will (unfortunately) never take up the space in society that the billboard’s massive presence seems to call for. But still, we should listen to Jeremy Deller because a little poetry, or at least poeticism, can do much to lighten up our world.”
–Sophie Golub, Department Manager, Publications, The Museum of Modern Art, NY
