"Jeremy Deller’s early work 'John, Paul,George-please, Ringo, Brian, Never 4-Get Stu' 1992, reproduces graffiti found and photographed by Deller at Abbey Road that exists as memorial for The Beatles, but also for the enduring love felt for them by their fans –and it is explicitly the meaning of the fans’ love for The Beatles that Deller’s work marks and celebrates. It prefigures both his more recent works revolving around Brian Epstein, and also, more significantly, his collaborations with fans of the Manic Street Preachers which led to his 1997 exhibition and 1999 book 'The Uses of Literacy', and the 'Unconvention' exhibition and event in Cardiff also in 1999. By concentrating on the ways fans express themselves, and the kinds of communities they form, this work is also an indication of the ways in which Deller has continued to build his work through conversations, collaboration and engagement with diverse social groupings on the understanding that all forms of popular culture are socially (and politically) determining. This outlook underpinned his flow-diagram drawing 'History of the World' 1996 that provided the conceptual framework for 'Acid Brass', a project in which Deller invited traditional brass bands to perform Acid House music. The editioned artwork is based on Deller’s drawing illustrating how he perceived a network of pop cultural and historical links between the miners’ strike and the start of the acid house scene."
