Jeremy Deller’s English Magic is part of the “Protest Sounds” program (video works from the Pinault Collection) at the Bourse de Commerce.
‘Each of these works features a kind of opposition in which sound plays a determining role […]. English Magic presents a strange national novel, where iconic pieces of English music are played by amateurs, interspersed with images of local cultural identity.’
