Turner prize winner Jeremy Deller is bringing his vast interactive piece, Sacrilege, to the CityLife Park in Milan (12-15 April) thanks to the Fondazione Nicola Trussardi. The work is a vast blow-up replica of the celebrated British heritage site, Stonehenge. “Deller transforms the Stonehenge monument into a giant inflatable toy for children, reproducing it in plastic and turning it into a funfair attraction 35 metres in diameter; the public is thus called upon to interact with the installation, to climb onto it, and to jump and play within it,” a foundation statement says. Sacrilege, which was originally erected in Glasgow and London, "is a way of interacting with history and archaeology and culture in a wider sense,” Deller told The Guardian.
