Radical Horizons: The Art of Burning Man at Chatsworth was a large-scale exhibition in the publicly accessible 1000-acre park surrounding Chatsworth House, which saw 12 monumental sculptures from Burning Man, held in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, on display in the UK for the first time from 9 April to 1 October 2022. Show This ambitious sculpture exhibition was designed to celebrate a shared culture of making and collaboration. Burning Man is a unique event that usually takes place annually in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, USA, and Chatsworth worked with the Burning Man team and artists to bring its distinctive culture of possibility and creativity to the Derbyshire landscape. The exhibition featured eight existing sculptures and four works that were built on site, three of which were constructed with the help of visitors and local community groups over the course of the year. This process mirrors that of Burning Man where teams of volunteers gather in the desert to create new artworks. The sculptures include: - Flybrary by Christina Sporrong Free to access and enjoy for all, the exhibition also benefited from a dedicated engagement programme working with communities of people who generally find Chatsworth hard to access, offering activities designed to leave a legacy of creative possibility and new connections with people. 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.” Chatsworth and Burning Man were introduced by Sotheby’s, who saw a synergy between the two organisations in their commitments to creativity and community.

Who played drums on Burning Down the House?5 airwaves! (Craig Allen photo). The Talking Heads formed (as a quartet) in New York City...with David Byrne on guitar and lead vocals, Jerry Harrison on keyboards and guitar, Tina Weymouth on bass and Chris Frantz on drums.
What is the meaning of Burning Down the House?David Byrne: “Burning Down the House” wasn't a song about arson. When I wrote the lyrics in 1982, the title phrase was a metaphor for destroying something safe that entrapped you. I envisioned the song as an expression of liberation, to break free from whatever was holding you back.
What movie does Burning Down the House play in?"Burning Down The House" not only has a place in our music heritage...but is cemented in pop culture, as it has been used in TV and movies, including: "Gilmore Girls," "13 Going On 30," "6 Feet Under," and my fave..."Revenge Of The Nerds."
