Jeremy Deller

Biography

Jeremy Deller is a widely exhibited artist who lives and works in London. He studied at the Courtauld Institute of Art, and now acts as a curator, producer or director of a broad range of projects, including orchestrated events, films and publications. Much of his work involves collaboration with individuals and groups, often taking folk culture as its raw material, with the aim of drawing attention to activity taking place outside what is conventionally thought of as the contemporary art world. He has been a Board Member of Artangel, since 2005. He sits on the Collection Committee and the Tate Liverpool Council.

Why I wanted to become a Tate Trustee

I accepted the trusteeship because I'm interested in the role that Museums and art play in the cultural and social life of the UK and Tate's role in this, especially as a champion of Modern and Contemporary Art.
