Abigail and Gary have extensive experience in commissioning, producing, exhibiting, and programming artists’ moving image and animation.
If you are a curator or project manager looking to commission animation, we can match you up with the right animator for your project, advise, help develop, and manage commissions, and oversee production from idea to delivery.
Our work includes:
- commissioning and exhibition projects with Museums Northumberland (pictured), National Trust’s Ham House and Garden, Thackray Museum of Medicine, Leeds (with MAAP), and Sir John Soane’s Museum, London
- animations for music ensemble Klangforum Wien’s Happiness Machine project made with female composers
- animations for Cast Iron Radio’s Body of Songs project made with independent musicians and leading clinicians
We also offer one to one mentoring sessions for artists.
Please get in touch by filling out a contact form to discuss your requirements and we will quote for the work.
Here are some testimonies from previous clients:
“We first brought Animate in to advise on acquiring moving image work for our loan collection, and from there we worked with the team on developing and delivering artist residency projects in Glasgow and London. Their specialist advice proved to be invaluable.” — Emilie Rolland, Former Programmes & Collection Manager, Paintings in Hospitals
“Animate Projects was absolutely fantastic to work with. So knowledgeable, so professional, so energetic, so supportive.” — Michaela Crimmin, curator and former Head of Arts, RSA
“When I needed an animator to work with Jeremy Deller in bringing to life one of his Venice Biennale works for a web commission on The Space, Animate was my first port of call. Their advice was first class and they matched Jeremy with an animator who fully embraced the brief, worked closely with the artist, and delivered exactly what was needed in time for the animation’s launch.” — Stephanie Allen, Head of Business Development, Creative United UK
“We approached Animate to curate a screening programme, as we wanted to share the radical animations from the renowned Austrian Ars Electronica Festival with our audience, and were aware that Animate were specialists working in this field. They have since curated four programmes with enlightening presentations and discussions that our audiences have found inspiring.” — Vanessa Fewster, Former Visual Arts Project Manager, Austrian Cultural Forum London
