LUX is a UK arts organisation and distributor that supports and promotes visual artists working with the moving image. Founded in 2002, it developed from the activities and collections of the London Film-Makers' Co-op, London Video Arts and the Lux Centre. Its distribution collection contains more than 6,000 works by more than 1,500 artists and spans more than a century. LUX operates primarily as a distributor, providing access to artists' moving-image works for curators, programmers and researchers.
History The London Film-Makers' Co-op (LFMC), one of LUX's predecessor organisations, was founded in London in October 1966 as a non-profit film distribution cooperative. In January 1999, London Electronic Arts, formerly London Video Access, merged with the LFMC to form the Lux Centre. The Lux Centre closed in 2001, and LUX was established in 2002 as a new organisation continuing the distribution and collection activities of its predecessors. Since 2016, LUX has been based at Waterlow Park in Highgate, London.
LUX Scotland LUX Scotland was established in May 2014 following a consultation process begun in 2009. It operates as part of LUX and is based in Glasgow.
LUX Online LUX Online is a web resource devoted to British-based artists' film and video. Developed and funded between 2004 and 2009, it includes streaming video excerpts, essays, biographies and a historical timeline of artists' film and video. The project is no longer updated but remains available online.
