For the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art, conceptual and installation artist Jeremy Deller created an inflatable, life-size “bounce house” version of Stonehenge, where children and adults alike could take off their shoes and hop around. For the artist, the work, titled Sacrilege, is a way for even young children to engage with history and archaeology. The interactive sculpture will “pop up” at 25 locations around the United Kingdom.
