The Sacred Heart

Past exhibitions

7 March - 4 April 2007

New Religion
Damien Hirst

New Religion includes an altar holding a cedar cross studded with gem-like pills, a child's skull and a heart wrapped in barbed wire and pierced by needles and razor blades, cast in silver, and a large carved marble pill. One complete set of prints and sculptural objects are displayed in a specially constructed devotional case or reliquary. And, so struck was Damien Hirst with the church's interior that he has also produced three large new paintings made specifically to hang behind the altar at All Hallows.

This is the first time that New Religion has been seen in a sacred space.
