Deller's artwork launched the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art which runs from April 20th to May 7th.

Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art started on Friday with the unveiling of the iconic British artist Jeremy Deller's major public work "Sacrilege".

For the first time for the Turner Prize winning artist, his recreation of a full-scale, inflatable replica of Stonehenge will be exhibit during the whole festival for public use. Deller's exploration of contemporary culture in all its forms is display with this new piece of art situated on Glasgow Green.

"It's something for people to interact with, it's a big public sculpture," Deller mention in The Guardian. "It is also a way of interacting with history and archaeology and culture in a wider sense" he added.
