James Lingwood
James Lingwood is the director of British Artangel together with Michael Morris. During the last ten years Artangel has commissioned and produced ambitious one-off projects in public space with contemporary artists in a range of media, from public sculpture and performance to new film and video (e.g. Rachel Whitehead, Matthew Barney, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Francis Alÿs). Artangel produced the Jeremy Deller film Battle of Orgreave (2001), which was shown as a part of the film programme of IHME 0 by Pro Arte Foundation in March 2008. In addition to his work with Artangel, Lingwood has curated several exhibitions for national and international arts institutions.

Artangel´s production also includes the film Margate Exodus (2006): A centre-piece of this multi-faceted project was the 25 metre high Waste Man, conceived by Antony Gormley, constructed by the local community and ultimately burnt in public.
