Artangel

Come As You Really Are presents a variety of hobbies that showcase an individual's freedom of expression and ingenuity, and in doing so broadens our perception of who gets to be called creative and where the impulse to create stems from. At the heart of this project is a nationwide community of people whose labours of love are a lens through which the artist presents an alternative portrait of the UK.

About:
Artangel produces and presents extraordinary art in unexpected places across London, the UK, and beyond.

For over thirty years, we have generated some of the most widely discussed art of recent times, including prominent large-scale projects with artists who have become household names in the UK, including the likes of Jeremy Deller, Roger Hiorns, Michael Landy and Rachel Whiteread.

Appearing anywhere from empty prisons to underground vaults, prime-time TV to the sky at night, Artangel commissions and produces art that takes on a variety of forms and is presented in different places to offer varying points of access and interaction to a curious public. With each new interpretation and experience, we seek to extend the boundaries of what art can be, where it can appear, and how it can be engaged with.

Recent Artangel projects you may recognise include Taryn Simon’s An Occupation of Loss, Heiner Goebbels’ Everything that happened and would happen, Steve McQueen’s Year 3, in collaboration with Tate Britain, Afterness on Orford Ness, and Oscar Murillo’s Frequencies.
