Jeremy Dellers's Sacrilege. I commissioned piece of work at the Glasgow Green, part of Glasgow International festival of the visual arts. Sacrilege an inflatable Stonehenge (Bouncy Castle)
In my dissertation i am looking into Art and Archaeology. I feel this piece of work relates both to my elective - INTERACTIONS & HAPPENINGS, and my dissertation subject.
Sacrilege is an imitation of Stonehenge, Stonehenge being an iconic figure and part of British heritage which Deller, has created to be more of an interaction. Deller's work is interact-able with all ages to enjoy, adults and children have been jumping up and down on the inflatable Stonehenge which can appear in some ways quite humorous just like a lot of Deller's other projects.
"It's something for people to interact with, it's a big public sculpture," says Deller, who was on hand for the project's launch. "It is also a way of interacting with history and archaeology and culture in a wider sense.
