Akeroyd Collection is the time-based media facet of Shane Akeroyd's art collection and is dedicated to exhibiting, sharing, and creating meaningful discourse around these works. With over 230 films, videos and sound works now included, Akeroyd Collection continues to be diverse and internationally focused. It increasingly places race, identity, and gender politics at its centre, reflecting the pressing issues of our time and across the cultural landscape.
While interested in supporting new technologies and developments within the field of time-based media, Akeroyd Collection also understands that the medium is often viewed by artists as just another vehicle for the expression of ideas. The time-based media facet of the Shane Akeroyd art collection (represented on this website) is therefore indiscriminate with regard to media. Even though it includes multi-channel installations, large screen projections, digital and analogue film and sound, it continues to focus on ideas rather than on particular technologies. This collection, viewed as a whole, is therefore deeply engaged in the intellectual, political, and aesthetic impulse of contemporary art and its discourses.
Akeroyd Collection does not have a physical space but collaborates with international institutions, museums, educational and other organizations.
