The screening will be introduced by Rhys Morgan.
The Box Plymouth is kicking off its public programme for Jeremy Deller’s upcoming commission, The Triumph of Art, with a free screening of his 2019 film Everybody in the Place. This film captures the importance of rave culture to contemporary British society and considers it in the context of a wider folk canon.
Rare and unseen archive materials map the journey from protest movements to abandoned warehouse raves, the white heat of industry bleeding into the chaotic release of the dancefloor. We join an A-level politics class as they discover these stories for the first time, viewing the story of acid house from a generation for whom it is already ancient history.

This event is part of The Triumph of Art, a nation-wide project by artist Jeremy Deller, commissioned by the National Gallery, London, as part of NG200, its Bicentenary celebrations. The Triumph of Art is being developed in partnership with Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee, Mostyn in Llandudno, The Box Plymouth and The Playhouse in Derry-Londonderry. Supported by Art Fund.
Jeremy Deller (b. 1966, London) studied History of Art at the Courtauld Institute and at Sussex University. He began making artworks in the early 1990s, often showing them outside conventional galleries. With projects including The Battle of Orgreave (2001) and We’re here because we’re here (2016), Deller is known for works that involve people and that explore the themes of performance art and popular culture.
Rhys Morgan is a Plymouth-based artist and curator, currently working as the Art Fund Assistant Curator at the National Gallery to oversee the development and delivery of a near year-long public programme of collective and interactive activities and local performance events which began in June 2024.
