Stations of the Cross at Glasgow's cathedral

A major exhibition featuring works of Glasgow-based artist Peter Howson and six emerging Glasgow artists is to be held in St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral in Glasgow from 22 March - 9 April. The exhibition - part of a nationwide series of exhibitions called "Presence, Images of Christ for the Third Millennium" - will feature Howson's controversial Stations of the Cross and two new works which interpret Christ's Crucifixion and Resurrection (called Crucifixion and Christos Aneste).

This will be the first time the fourteen Stations of the Cross have appeared in their true religious context and in a church setting - having only previously been seen in art galleries. The exhibition will also include a range of contemporary art, installation and intervention works, using various forms of media, by six emerging Glasgow artists.
