Jeremy Deller The English Civil War Part II

  

In 1984, the English National Union of Mineworkers went on strike. On June 18 of that year, one of the most violent confrontations during the bitter, year-long dispute culminated in a mounted police charge through the village of Orgreave, South Yorkshire. On June 17, 2001, artist Jeremy Deller staged a partial reenactment of that event, collaborating with members of historical reenactment societies from all over Britain and with local people from mining communities in South Yorkshire.

Accompanied by one CD with interviews, poems, and protest songs. Essays by Georgina Boyes, Jeremy Deller, David Douglass, Stephanie Gregory, Mac McLoughlin, Johnny Wood, Ken Wyatt.

8.75 x 6.25 in. 60 color, 40 b/w illustrations comes with a CD-Rom.
