Chatsworth House in Derbyshire UK is hosting a free exhibition of Burning Man sculptures. The exhibition, titled Radical Horizons: The Art of Burning Man at Chatsworth will run from April through to October 2022. The celebration of a shared culture of making and collaboration, through a large-scale exhibition of 12 monumental sculptures will be free to access and enjoy for all in the park surrounding Chatsworth.
Burning Man is a unique event that usually takes place annually in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, USA. Chatsworth House have worked with the Burning Man team and artists to bring its distinctive culture of possibility and creativity to the Derbyshire landscape.
Radical Horizons: The Art of Burning Man at Chatsworth will feature eight existing sculptures and four works built on site. These will include three new participatory sculptures that will be created in the parkland with the help of visitors and local community groups over the course of the year, mirroring the build process at Burning Man that sees teams of volunteers gathering in the desert to create new artworks.
The exhibition is free to access, however if you are visiting by car, and wish to park at Chatsworth, you must book in advance. Please note that if you book a ticket for the house, garden or farmyard, parking is included, and you do not need to book a separate car park ticket.
