Led by Kit Monkman, KMA creates time-based works that explore the relationship between artist, performer, and audience.

KMA’s recent work, People We Love, which premiered in autumn 2020, examines the increasingly porous relationship between art and its audience in the C21st, a relationship in which the viewer may be the performer and jointly own the generated aesthetic.

People We Love builds on KMA’s internationally recognised installations, such as Flock (2007) and Congregation (2010), which have transformed numerous public spaces, from London’s Trafalgar Square to Shanghai’s Bund, into impromptu theatrical arenas in which the distinction between performer and audience was blurred.

“We are made of our relationships to other people and our very own bodies. KMA's work invites us to think further on where one body starts and another finishes, significant and topical questions for a society coming to terms with virtuality and digital embodiment.”
