'What makes&nbsp;Art is Magic&nbsp;so rewarding is that Deller can write. Strikingly, he finds the literary process "mortifying . . . as though I am slowly dying". 

Perhaps it is that painful intensity that electrifies his prose, which comes across as crystalline, athletic, earnest yet frequently funny.' -&nbsp;Financial Times

'His work is hilarious and touching' - David Byrne

'Making good political art is almost impossible. Deller makes it fun. What sets him apart is his utopian optimism and belief in people.' - Jonathan Jones,&nbsp;The Guardian
