Stations of the Cross

'Stations of the Cross' is an ongoing series of exhibitions depicting the crucifixion of Christ, curated by Ben Moore, in support of the Missing Tom Fund.

‘Stations of the Cross’ 2014 and 2015 were held at St. Marylebone Parish Church and then at St. Stephen Walbrook in 2018.

These Lenten exhibitions included works by Francis Bacon, Sebastian Horsley, Mat Collishaw, Wolfe Lenkiewicz, Polly Morgan, Paul Benney, Robin Mason, Charlie Mackesy, Alison Jackson and Antony Micallef.

Art Below showcased many of the works on billboard space at London Underground stations that had a link to the theme including Kings Cross, Temple, Angel, Charing Cross and St.Paul’s.

A website documenting the exhibitions has been created and includes two articles I have written about reactions to these exhibitions. One explores protest or engagement in terms of Church responses to controversial art and the other reflects on the 2018 exhibition and reactions to it.

Proceeds from the 'Stations of the Cross' exhibition go to the 'Missing Tom' fund, which was started up specifically to raise money to support the search for Thomas Moore. Tom left his family home in 2003. He was 31 years old. His friends and family have not heard from him since then. With the support of the Missing People Charity his family continue to search for Tom.
