On of the problems was that his show had only been in Venice. And, in Venice, it was in a 12th Century building used as a boat building factory (well not a factory because it was the 12th Centtury - more of a boat building site). Anywho.. the point was it was impossible to recreate outside of Venice. The space was... perfection.
So they have gone completely another way. The show is in New York for a while, and then in LA. But they have recreated the cathedral space in an odd way. First an interior picture.
Those are actually paper core columns. The building is made out of shipping containers. It is on a dock in New York and will be on the pier in Santa Monica later this year.

So if you get a chance to be in New York or LA when the show is going - you must see it. For the architecture (it is a famous architect from Japan) or for the pictures. {SM Update: the show is in New York through June. It will be in LA December 5, 2005 - February 2006. So if you Wisconsin peeps come out for the Rose Bowl it will be here. And in the Vatican sometime in 2006 - for those UCLA peeps that want to pray we get to the Rose Bowl again someday. Now you know.}
