Jeremy Deller - Joy in People
Opens: 22/02/2012 Closes: 13/05/2012

Evening Standard“The show harnesses Deller's energy brilliantly...” Deller stretches the definition of art but, like many top artists, he has irrepressible curiosity and a vivid imagination - few shows this year will be this compelling...
