Review of Jeremy Deller’s Procession exhibition at the Cornerhouse, Manchester
For those who missed the original Manchester International Festival Procession on July the fifth, you can and must catch Turner Prize-winning Jeremy Deller’s multi-faceted (this barely gives credit to the sheer mass of work involved) ‘Procession’. Deller was accused by one national newspaper critic of giving a somewhat clichéd view of the north, what with the preponderance of brass bands, trade-union-style banners and suchlike but these are surely as much and a more realistic, part of the “north’s” culture as jellied eels and Beefeaters are to London. And the metropolis certainly doesn’t waste time in exploiting its own imagery.
