All That Is Solid Melts Into Air, 2014
Jeremy Deller curates a new Hayward Touring exhibition opening in Fall 2014 at Manchester Art Gallery. In All That Is Solid Melts Into Air Deller takes a personal look at the impact of the Industrial Revolution on British popular culture, and its persisting influence on our lives today. The exhibition combines contemporary music, film and photography with a vast range of 19th century images and objects. Deller approaches this wealth of material like a social cartographer, revealing neglected ley lines of cultural history. After the exhibition's initial showing in Manchester, All That Is Solid Melts Into Air toured to Nottingham, Coventry and Newcastle.
In All That Is Solid Melts Into Air Deller takes a personal look at the impact of the Industrial Revolution on British popular culture, and its persisting influence on our lives today. This film, made in collaboration with BBC Newsnight, is included in the exhibition.
