Much of Deller's work is collaborative. His work has a strong political aspect, in the subjects dealt with and also the devaluation of artistic ego through the involvement of other people in the creative process. Folk Archive is a tour of "people's art", outside of the contemporary art institution. Much of his work is ephemeral in nature and avoids commodification.
In 2007, Deller was appointed a Trustee of the Tate Gallery [1], a decision lampooned by the Stuckists [2].
