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 since 1993 – are available for loan, free of charge, to publicly-funded UK museums and galleries.

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 the programmes of our partner-galleries’, while being seen by a new audience.
What you can expect when you borrow a work from The Artangel Collection:
Assistance with logistics of the loan and with installation.
Publicity on Artangel’s website and social media channels.
Where possible, involvement from the artist.
Funding: grants of up to £7,500 are available to UK museums and galleries 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.
Screening Requests
Works in The Artangel Collection are available to publicly-funded UK museums and galleries to borrow free of charge. If you would like to host a one-off screening, or would like to borrow one of our works for an international exhibition, these are available for a small fee.
