Stonehenge is in Paris! The FIAC is here!

Sacrilege - 2012 - Jeremy Deller - Esplanade des Invalides

A prehistoric monument in the center of Paris, on the famous place of the Invalides?

Actually, these stones are an inflatable artwork called "Sacrilege" from the artist Jeremy Deller, another outdoor project of the FIAC (see my previous post).
"Sacrilege" is accessible:

and you can play with it:

Stonehenge, far off, the Dome of the Invalides!

Outdoor artworks are in the "Esplanade des Invalides", "Jardin des Tuileries", "Jardin des Plantes" and also "Place Vendôme" as said in the previous post:

All the FIAC outdoor projects are now installed, but not for long, until next Sunday, October, 21st.

As said in the previous post, the FIAC is coming! FIAC=CAIF i.e. Contemporary Art International Fair.
The FIAC will take place in Paris next week from the 18 to the 21 October 2012. Art will be exposed in beautiful places in Paris like the "Grand Palais" but also outdoor as for instance, the splendid Garden of the Tuileries. If you are in Paris now, you can enjoy some artistic creations already there or being installed.
See, in place, The Origin of the World from Marc Quinn:
