Glasgow Green gets inflatable Stonehenge as part of international art show

Prize winner: Artist Jeremy Deller plays on his latest artwork, a full scale inflatable StonehengeSWNS

Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller has unveiled a new public artwork as Glasgow opens its fifth annual International Festival of Visual Art.

His giant inflatable model of Stonehenge, called Sacrilege 2012, is one of the highlights of a festival programme featuring more than 130 artists at almost 50 venues across the city.

Other highlights include solo shows by Glasgow-based 2009 Turner Prize winner Richard Wright, Adrian Wiszniewski and Karla Black.

There is also a first UK show for Triumph, an installation of more than 2,500 discarded sporting trophies collected by Polish-born Aleksandra Mir, and an exhibition focused on Glasgow's Socialist Sunday School movement that flourished in the early 20th century.

More than 90% of the work on show during the 18-day festival is either new or previously unseen in the UK.

There will also be a range of newly commissioned works drawing on other artistic disciplines such as dance, film and music.
