Art Is Magic: a children's book for adults by

Product Information

The first monograph in French, Art is Magic explores the cultural references of the celebrated British artist, from Rod Stewart to the Industrial Revolution, linking them to his iconic works. The RA is a unique institution, an independent charity with a mission to be a clear, strong voice for art and artists, where art is made, exhibited and debated. Texts by Jeremy Deller; interview with Jeremy Deller by Daniel Scott, Alan Kane, Mary Beard, Jonny Banger, Cheerio.

Art is Magic is the first publication in which Deller reflects on the entirety of his career, his life and his art. I think there’s a childlike curiosity about the book, like the artist himself, without it ever being childish. Does he worry about the current state of the world, the rising populism, the media propaganda, the acute sense of imperilled democracy?

Folkestone Book Festival is our annual celebration of books, ideas, reading and writing in its many magical forms. An entertaining and revealing journey into the mind of one of Britain’s greatest contemporary artists.

In a society that claims to open up access to culture and continues to provide a model to follow on what is culturally and intellectually acceptable from what is not, Deller gets away and plays with these societal stereotypes by focusing on subcultures, folklore, people. Just like the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony, this book shows the full breadth of Englishness, with all its challenges, and embraces them. We specialise in hard to find and international magazine titles including Apartamento, L'Étiquette, Popeye and Gentlewoman along with a range of fiction and non-fiction books from a wide range of independent publishers.

In contemporary architecture, there is a continuing fetish for the luxurious and crafted over experiential delight and usefulness, but I don’t believe that architecture has to have a big budget to become valued. When I ask him to elaborate, he says: “Though no one was thinking of it in these terms at the time, there was definitely a mythical, epic quality to the rave scene: the quest to find the rave, to move towards the light in the countryside, and to find a transcendent release through the experience. All artwork deliveries from The Modern Institute/Toby Webster Ltd require a signature and we accept no responsibility if the signature is not that of the recipient, or nominate recipient, and will consider the package correctly delivered. Art is Magic is artist Jeremy Deller’s attempt to tie up the key works of his career alongside the art, pop music, film, politics and history that have inspired his work. The faux-campness of Sweet almost certainly informed the style of the 70s glam wrestler Adrian Street, the subject of Deller’s film So Many Ways to Hurt You, which he made between 2010 and 2012.

Deller grew up in London and famously attended the elite private school Dulwich College at the same time as Nigel Farage, who makes a fleeting appearance in Putin’s Happy, revving up a union jack-waving anti-Brexit audience in Parliament Square.
