Making The Steve McQueen Year 3 "A Portrait Of Hope" Exhibition

Share this article

Steve McQueen's Year 3 exhibition at Tate Britain is perhaps one of the most talked about installations this year. The logistics surrounding photographing seventy-six thousand year 3 pupils, in individual class photographs at their school, is mind boggling, but so too is bringing all the photos together so that they are displayed precisely as McQueen and Tate Britain required.

The impact of "A Portrait of Hope" exhibition is indescribable because of the it's vastness. From floor to ceiling the Duveen galleries are covered in a myriad of school photos, with image upon image of 7 to 8 year olds in their clothes or school uniforms looking at the camera with an innocence that only childhood can bring. And whatever your feelings about the longevity of the emotional response to the exhibition, you cannot fail to be overwhelmed by the impressive of the installation as it draws the visitor in to examine and imagine the children presented.

MCD Group were excited to be given the opportunity to work with Steve McQueen and Tate Britain to make this ambitious installation a reality.
