Deller and Kane - Folk Devils
Artists Jeremy Deller and Alan Kane preview Tate Britain's exhibition looking back at the tradition of folk art, and reveal that folk art is all around us.
For centuries, folk art has been ignored by the art establishment, but in June 2014 the first national exhibition to look back at the tradition of folk art in this country opened at Tate Britain. Artists Jeremy Deller and Alan Kane get a preview of the show and give their own take on what folk art is. They go on an illuminating tour of British folk art. From Blackpool promenade to customised motorbikes, from shop signs to street parades, they show that, if you look closely, we live in a folk art culture and that folk art is all around us.
