Jeremy Deller represented the British Pavilion with some English Magic. having lived 9 years in London I still find mysterious when exactly the British call themselves English and for what specific reason. At the football World Cup they participate with England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales while at the Olympics they simply are Great Britain. Here in Venice they are the United Kingsom but indeed they fell comfortable with such a title and such a show. The film is amazing with a Symphony played by the Melodians Steel Orchestra from South London re-interpreting anything including one of the best acid house tracks ever Voodoo Ray by A Guy Called Gerald. Also the visuals at the Pavilion are intended to speak loud about Deller Rave Culture. I was into that culture. I breathed every inch of those vibes and to be offered a thè by the British Council of Art in a rainy afternoon with some David Bowie/Riots pics + some (censored) Giant raptor made me feel at home, once again.
Bless this Acid House.
