This sounds fascinating, not least to me because it sounds so amenable to the vision of many alt.worship groups. In fact the whole thing sounds like something that would perhaps, with some renegotiation of content, make a really good Lenten project. It's a shame I won't be able to visit this exhibition which includes crawling around in tunnels and sitting on straw bales in order to see the exhibits.

Another interesting aspect is grought out by this quote from the article:
"One of the pleasures of the show is to watch other people negotiate the works. You can't tell them apart from the sculptures, and you get to meet interesting strangers crawling about in the tunnels. It all leads to a sense of camaraderie, surprise, and good humour."

Lots to think about here.
