It's quite a political exhibition, which Deller says in the accompanying video that he hopes makes us mad 'for the wrong or right reasons', and politically-themed items associated with Morris have been chosen from the gallery's collection to display alongside Deller's material, which features houses being burned in St Helier, Jersey in protest at secretive banking and pencil drawings of the likes of Tony Blair and Dr David Kelly drawn by prison inmates who served as soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan. Whatever you make of the content, it's well executed and the messages are simply and forcefully communicated, and it's free to visit.
