The collection was launched in partnership with Tate in 2011 to enable notable film and video installations to be presented across the UK.
Over 25 moving image works – commissioned by Artangel between 1993 and 2015 – are available for loan, free of charge, to publicly-funded UK museums and galleries.
To borrow a work from the collection, please contact Phoebe James.

A savvy shoring-up against the vicissitudes of history on the part of an organization that, despite working in a manner ill suited to a permanent exhibition space, has nonetheless occasioned some lasting works in film and video along the way – Martin Herbert, Artforum, May 2011
The collection was launched in 2011 with a simple ambition: to make outstanding moving image works, commissioned and produced by Artangel over the last 25 years, available across the country. With each presentation the works are opened up to fresh interpretation, complementing and expanding upon our partner-galleries’ programme, while being seen by a new audience.
