Jeremy Deller - Joy in People

BBC2's The Culture Show this week featured the work of Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller, who is about to have a major exhibition at the Hayward Gallery called 'Joy in People'. Deller is not a conventional artist, more an organiser of events. He has been involved in re-enactments of battles between striking miners and the police, brass bands playing acid house anthems and a carnival in Manchester celebrating the street culture of the city. The common theme in his work is the love of popular culture and community. Visit his website to find out more about this fascinating artist.
