Sacrilege by Jeremy Deller for MIART2018

From April 12 to 15, 2018, during the 23rd edition of MIART and the Milanese Art Week, the Fondazione Nicola Trussardi presents Sacrilege, a major outdoor installation by the celebrated British artist Jeremy Deller, curated by Massimiliano Gioni.

The Fondazione Nicola Trussardi invited Deller – winner of the 2004 Turner Prize – to realize his first solo project in collaboration with an Italian institution. With Sacrilege, Deller brings to the heart of the CityLife sculpture park a giant inflatable installation that is a life-sized reconstruction of the archeological site of Stonehenge – a historic monument that is an icon of British culture and heritage, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986.

The installation Sacrilege has been originally commissioned by The Mayor of London and Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art for the London 2012 Festival. Its presentation in Milan is a project conceived and promoted by the Fondazione Nicola Trussardi in collaboration with CityLife, company managed by Generali Group that hands the area where the installation will be temporarily installed.

The CityLife Park will also host the artworks of ArtLine, a public art project of the City of Milan: an open-air collection that will develop within this new city district and whose first group of works will be presented on April 15 at noon.

April 12-15, 2018 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM free entry
