Abandon Normal Devices (AND)

AND is a radical arts organisation situated in the North of England, working globally. We curate experiences, commission and incubate new art, cinema and sound, often through collaborations with emerging technology and science. Our portfolio includes; a full yearly Programme, creating experiences that are unprecedented, unexpected, unpredictable, absurd, wild and joyful. Our Biannual 'AND Festival', exploring a new site every 2 years we challenge ourselves, artists and audiences to look at the world from a new perspective. And Artistic Commissions, since 2009 we have commissioned and supported hundreds of artists to push the boundaries of their creative practice, by making space for provocation, risk-taking, and experimentation that enable new artforms to emerge. Our works have toured internationally to countries including Germany, China, Indonesia, USA, Italy and Australia, as well as across the UK.
