Jeremy Deller

Artist

British artist Jeremy Deller works across photography, video and installation, often taking the UK’s industrial heritage as his theme. He explores the plight of the working class in pieces such as 2001’s The Battle of Orgreave, a public reenactment of a confrontation that took place during the 1984 miners’ strike, and Broadsides and Ballads of the Industrial Revolution, staged at the 2015 Venice Biennale. Deller won the Turner Prize in 2004 for Memory Bucket, a documentary film about George W Bush’s hometown Crawford in Texas, and the siege in Waco nearby. Deller was born in London and studied at the Courtauld Institute and the University of Sussex.
