Own Art 10th Anniversary – Jeremy Deller Commission

This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the Own Art scheme and to celebrate we have co-commissioned Jeremy Deller to produce an artwork that can be enjoyed by all and owned by all. By owning one of the free artworks released as a digital limited edition on Sedition, everyone will become part of a global collective.

This new work by Deller consists of an animation and a series of free digital images based on one of the works first shown when Deller was chosen to represent England at the Venice Biennale in 2013 and developed English Magic, an exhibition which is now touring the UK.

English Magic reflects the roots of much of Deller’s work, focusing on British society. William Morris permeates the exhibition – In English Magic, the Turner Prize-winning artist brings Morris “back from the dead”, encouraging us to turn the mirror on ourselves and ask questions of the society in which we live – William Morris Gallery. Jeremy Deller’s approach is a perfect fit for the commission – championing the democratisation of art ownership and allowing thousands of people to begin their own art collection.
