Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller has been a hugely influential figure in the story of British art over the past two decades, helping to rewrite the rules of contemporary artistic practice.This comprehensive catalogue is published on the occasion of Deller's first major survey exhibition, staged at London's Hayward Gallery (22 February – 13 May 2012).With essays by esteemed cultural theorist Stuart Hall, music historian Rob Young and Hayward Gallery's Ralph Rugoff, alongside fascinating conversation between Deller and artist Matthew Higgs, this beautifully finished casebound book is the first complete survey of the artist's multi-faceted practice, in which he explores compelling social and cultural territories while alternately taking on the roles of artistic producer, publisher, filmmaker, collaborator, curator, parade organizer and cultural activist.Published on the occasion of Jeremy Deller's survey exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, this is the first book to cover the career of this important British artist.

One year ago, 'We're here because we're here' left a lasting impression on millions of people in the UK. A new book about the event is being released that records that remarkable day and details how it was produced by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller, the National Theatre's Director, Rufus Norris and 14-18 NOW - the UK's arts programme for the First World War centenary.

'Procession', conceived by artist Jeremy Deller, was a public event that took place in Manchester in July 2009.

English Magic has been published alongside Turner prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller's British Pavilion exhibition at the Venice Biennale in 2013 (1 June – 24 November), and reflects the roots of much of Deller's work, focusing on British society – its people, icons, myths, folklore and its cultural and political history. He weaves together high and low, popular and rarefied to create unique and thought provoking work.English Magic is also a new film work by Deller which forms a major part of his exhibition for the British Pavilion. The film brings together many of the ideas behind the works in the Pavilion, featuring visual and thematic elements that reflect the artist's interest in the diverse nature of British society and its broad cultural, socio-political and economic history.The exhibition will tour the UK in 2014 to the William Morris Gallery, London Borough of Waltham Forest; Bristol Museum and Art Gallery; and Turner Contemporary, Margate.This official catalogue (available in four different colour covers) features a new essay by Hal Foster and an interview between Jeremy Deller, Chris Dercon and John Paul Lynch.
