I went to the Hayward Gallery Yesterday and saw an exhibition by David Shrigley and Jeremy Deller, I really liked the sardonic homour of Shrigley's work.
Gravestone 2008
I'd like to use some of this style humour in my work, because it seems to reveal the infallibility of the artist.
Jeremy Deller's work was also great, he uses ideas from popular culture like acid house, which I think makes his work more accessible to the public. His show was called Joy in people and he seems to be very collaborative with the public too, engaged in the public sector cuts strikes etc.
I would also like to incorporate the engagement with the public in my work.
