Artangel

Artangel is a London-based arts organisation founded in 1985 by Roger Took. The organisation was directed from 1991 by James Lingwood and Michael Morris, who stepped down in 2021 after three decades in the role. In 2022, Mariam Zulfiqar was appointed director. Over it's history, the organisation has commissioned and produced a string of notable site-specific works, as well as projects for television, film, radio and the web. Notable past works include the Turner Prize-winning House by Rachel Whiteread (1993), Break Down by Michael Landy (2001) and Seizure by Roger Hiorns (2008–2010), also nominated for the Turner Prize in 2009.

A 2002 article in The Daily Telegraph described the organisation as creating "art that operates by ambush, rather than asking you to pay up before you see it", while a 2007 profile in The Observer noted that "Artangel has worked with exceptional artists to produce some of the most resonant works of our time, in some very unusual places". These have included a condemned council flat (Seizure, 2008–2010), a former postal sorting office (Küba, 2005), a vacated general plumbing store (An Area of Outstanding Unnatural Beauty, 2002) and the former Oxford Street branch of the C&A department store (Break Down, 2001).
