Portraiture at Castle Howard | People We Love

Join Head Curator Christopher Ridgway and Kit Monkman, KMA, as they take a tour of Castle Howard, discussing the portraiture on display in the 300-year-old House.
Castle Howard is playing host to a beautiful contemporary art exhibition, People We Love, from May - October 2023.
People We Love is a community based international artwork on high definition screens in our Chapel. The screens play the faces, all gazing at a person they love, on repeat, creating a meditative and contemplative experience for the viewer. It's a wonderful addition to Castle Howard House visit, and a lovely way to contrast portraiture old and new.
The artwork is created by KMA, an internationally renowned artist working in screen-based and interactive media. This Castle Howard installation is commissioned by Mediale using funding by Arts Council England. Supported by Motion.

I'm not getting it, sorry Kit!! I visited Castle Howard exactly 2 weeks ago and was absolutely enthralled with the whole place, architecture, artworks, gardens etc. I was especially looking forward to seeing the beautiful Chapel but very disappointed to see this installation "in the way", obscuring the view of the whole place from the Chapel entrance. If art installations are needed then put them in a place which doesn't obstruct the view. I just see it as films of people in four stands. Apologies to those who DO appreciate it!

Not a great concept
