The Artangel Collection

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

Borrowing Works

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. 

What you can expect when you borrow a work from The Artangel Collection:

  • Assistance from Phoebe with logistics of the loan and with installation. 
  • Publicity on Artangel’s website and social media channels.
  • Where possible, involvement from the artist.
  • A talk from Phoebe or from one of the Artangel Co-Directors in the public programme of your exhibition.
  • Funding. Grants of up to £7,500 are available to UK museums and galleries to put towards the cost of presenting works from The Artangel Collection. This funding can be put towards the costs of equipment hire and installation, specialist technical advice, artist’s travel, marketing and publicity or other exhibition costs. There are no fixed deadlines for applications.
