An internationally acclaimed artist, Jeremy Deller won the Turner Prize in 2004 with ‘Memory Bucket’, a film about Texas which included 8 minutes of footage of 3 million bats leaving Frio Cave in Texas.
After winning the Turner Prize, Deller announced his intention to build “a large bat house somewhere in the UK. This would be a piece of architecture, a sculpture and a living, working object.”
According to the Tate: “Collaboration and participation are central to Deller’s work. He acts as curator, producer or director of a broad range of projects, including orchestrated events, films and publications, which draw attention to forms of culture on the fringes of the mainstream or reveal hidden histories.”
