Artangel has always gone where others fear to tread. They collaborate with artists who defy boundaries to give form to extraordinary ideas. 

The art they produce boldly responds to the environment in which we live. It’s often unlike anything you have experienced before. They've taken over an empty prison, uncovered an underground opera house, made sculpture from solid air, commissioned a mile-high column of light, and a thousand-year-long piece of music. 

They celebrate the artists of today and identify those of tomorrow. Developing daring new works that reveal a different side to the world we live in.  

Gemma Anderson-Tempini is an artist from Belfast, primarily working with drawing, describing it as ‘a way to confront the limits of what you think you know’ and she possesses a remarkable ability to distil complex ideas and processes into highly accessible artworks. Whether imaginging and visualising the big bang, or zooming in on the transformation of an embryo, Gemma’s desire to bring visual clarity to the nature of existence is a thread that runs throughout her practice.   

Dr Briony Thomas is an Associate Professor in Design Science at the University of Leeds with expertise in design geometry and art-science collaborations. Her research and creative practice sit at the intersection of the arts, science, and society, and Briony focuses much of her energy on developing interdisciplinary educational experiences for young people through hands-on creative engagement.
