Watch the world premiere of Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller's new animation 'We Sit Starving Amidst our Gold', co-commissioned by Own Art and The Space, on Saturday 19th July when it will premiere simultaneously on screens across Westfield London and Westfield Stratford.

Own Art will take over every single screen in both Westfield locations to play the animation for the first time ever. This has been made possible by Exterion Media who are an ideal partner given their extensive digital footprint in London.

The new animation - 'We sit starving amidst our Gold (William Morris visits the Venice Biennale in 2011 and gets to grips with Roman Abramovich’s yacht Luna)' - is based on one of the pieces Deller first exhibited as part of English Magic at the British Pavilion in the Venice Biennale 2013.

English Magic reflects the roots of much of Deller’s work, focusing on British society – its people, icons, myths, folklore and its cultural and political history. William Morris permeates the exhibition, ‘in English Magic, the Turner Prize-winning artist brings Morris “back from the dead”, encouraging us to turn the mirror on ourselves and ask questions of the society in which we live’ (William Morris Gallery). Jeremy Deller’s approach is a perfect fit for the co- commission, championing the democratisation of art ownership and allowing thousands of people to begin their own art collections.

Be one of the first people in the world to watch this unique artwork come to life.
