'Folk Archive' is a collection of the visual ephemera of Britain today, from murals and graffiti to souped-up cars and motorcycle hearses. Over the course of seven years, Deller and Kane collected objects and photographs of places, customs and things that ‘might constitute modern day folk art’. The archive was exhibited and published in the book 'Folk Archive: Contemporary Popular Art from the UK'.
