Brian Epstein Died For You on Flickr.A wonderful double header at the Hayward Gallery. Jeremy Deller “Joy In People” / David Shrigley “Brain Activity”. Both were excellent. I admire Jeremy Deller and was very keen to catch this exhibition. It was great. David Shrigley was fab too. Alas no photography in the exhibition so I aside from a pin badge and the brochure I have not much else to show.

The Genius of Jeremy Deller

I’ve just watched the recent Culture Show programme on Jeremy Deller.  I’ve enjoyed a few of his creations without realising who was responsible.  He is a genius.  A word that gets bandied about far too much, however in the case of JD I stand by the assessment.  Not only that he is a true people’s artist.  

For the next four days people in the UK can watch the Culture Show special - Jeremy Deller: MIddle Class Hero on iPlayer.  I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Here’s a list of his projects.

Some personal faves include:

  • Our Hobby Is Depeche Mode
  • Acid Brass
  • The Football Hooligan calling cards as party invites
  • The Battle of Orgreave recreation
  • The Folk Archive

I’m going to the exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in a couple of weeks.  I can’t wait.
