In 2022, Chatsworth hosted an exhibition of monumental sculptures from Burning Man, the annual event in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.
Radical Horizons featured 12 sculptures in Chatsworth’s parkland from 9 April to 1 October 2022.
The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, said: “The sculptures in the park continue the great tradition of the estate as a backdrop for contemporary works. We very much hope that visitors find inspiration here in this special place.”
The Art of Burning Man at Chatsworth
The exhibition celebrated sculpture and collaborative making inspired by Burning Man, the annual event in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert.
Chatsworth and Burning Man were introduced by Sotheby’s.
The exhibition included eight existing works and four built on site, three of them with participation from local community groups and visitors.
The exhibition was free to view and included an engagement programme for communities who found Chatsworth difficult to access.
Kim Cook, Director of Creative Initiatives at Burning Man, said: “We’ve come to understand Chatsworth as a place to foster innovation, creativity, thoughtfulness and thinkers since its early days, something that is also central to our work and ethos at Burning Man. Our hope is that the art in the landscape will provoke joy, new ways of viewing, and be an invitation to make up your own story about meaning as you explore the beautiful expanse of Chatsworth.”
