Jeremy Deller
will present a much-anticipated solo exhibition in the British Pavilion at the
55th International Art Exhibition in Venice from 1st June to 24th November
2013.
Jeremy Deller’s
way of working as artist, orchestrator, filmmaker, curator and cultural
archivist is both highly influential and often collaborative. People often take
centre stage in Deller’s practice and, over the last two decades, the Turner
Prize-winning artist has collaborated with groups as diverse as former miners,
bat behavioural experts, Depeche Mode fans and numerous musicians. Deller has
an infectious interest in the creativity of others, overturning cultural
hierarchies and staging opportunities for interaction with characteristic wit
and clarity.
The British
Council has commissioned artists to represent Britainat the Venice Biennale,
celebrating the best of British art since 1938 and Deller is the 19th
artist to be selected for a solo presentation. The British Council’s commission
follows on from two key projects last year: Deller’s mid-career retrospective,
Joy In People, which opened at the Hayward and is currently touring the US, and
Sacrilege (2012), his life-size inflatable version of Stonehenge which toured
around the UK during the summer.
"Wry, and
very light on his feet, Deller has a great ability to draw together all sorts
of people and communities and orchestrate them into unexpected patterns. He's a
sort of pied piper of popular culture." Andrea Rose, Commissioner,
British Pavilion.
