"You put the sticker on, take a photograph, and then you run off," Deller told the Independent in 1998. "There's not much point in hanging around."

‘From acid house to ancient rites: Jeremy Deller’s enormous, collaborative, unsellable art’ in The Guardian Online Article, 01/04/25 written by Charlotte Higgins


CARL FREEDMAN

First published in Issue 29

Jun - Aug 1996

A slide show in another room moves through a cycle of loosely connected snapshot ideas. A series of photographs of jumble sales are prefaced by the title The Kent Archaeology Society Monthly Dig. There are documentary photographs of Deller's 'I ❤️ Joyriding' bumper stickers stuck to GTis and other flash cars in the joy riding capital of Middlesborough; a sunny smiling portrait of some old-timers with their rows of medals at a V.E. Day celebration; pustulating teenage fans posing outside a concert, sweaty and excitable, their foreheads carrying the black marks of the Take That symbol; and a series of photographic studies of hands making Hand Signals for the Middle Class Posse, such as 'Radio Four', 'single-sex schools', 'a cup of tea' ('with one sugar or two') and 'Antiques Roadshow'.

During the exhibition, Deller moved into the gallery, leaving his parents' home for the first time at the age of 29. He set up a temporary bedroom with carpet, Union Jack bed covers, portable TV and colour poster of the irritatingly beautiful Kate Moss. Visitors could peruse a selection of his video and record collection. The records were kept in a Red Cross emergency relief box and played over a major PA speaker placed under a wall text saying 'Let Them Eat Bass'. Hanging on a door was one of Deller's pop T-shirts, made for hyper-trendy babe shop Sign of the Times, inscribed with the slogan 'My Booze Hell'. Taken from a Sun headline, it refers to Robbie Williams, who could be seen actually wearing one on a video recording of a kids' TV show. Not unexpectedly, this act of self-parody contributed to his expulsion from the irony-free zone, formerly known as Take That.

It can sometimes seem as if Deller is stuck in a twilight zone between perpetual adolescent and aspiring semiologist. But his casual and unassuming epigrammatic style has a cumulative effect. By turns inventive, humorous and insightful, he slips freely between subject matter, mapping out a lexicon of cultural phenomena framed by his own particular suburban, semi-detached vision. Though this world is quintessentially English, he manages to negotiate it without recourse to boorish nationalism. With music as a central reference point, he sets off with a Travelcard on his ethnographic jaunts, replotting local history with an attitude of affable and modest speculation.
