Ongoing projects[edit]
While many of Artangel's projects are intrinsically temporary, certain works have a longer-term remit.
1 January 2000 saw the launch of Jem Finer's Longplayer, a musical composition that will continue playing until the end of the year 2999. Longplayer can be heard via an online stream,[7] at listening posts internationally and at occasional live performances.
In 2007, a former municipal library building in the Icelandic town of Stykkishólmur was transformed into VATNASAFN/Library of Water, a project by Roni Horn that includes an archive of glacial water and a selection of weather 'reports' by residents of Iceland. It operates as a community space and is host to a writers' residency programme.
Ilya and Emilia Kabakov's 1998 work The Palace of Projects resides permanently at a former salt store in the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen, Germany.
Notable patrons as special angels include Carolyn Dailey. Artangel were named one of London's most influential curators[8] in 2017 by Something Curated.
The Artangel Collection[edit]
Works, such as Richard Billingham's Fishtank (1998), Paul Pfeiffer's The Saints (2007) and Francis Alÿs' Seven Walks (2004), continue to be exhibited internationally as part of The Artangel Collection.[9] 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.
