Behind a canvas screen is constructed a small chapel space. There are three rows of pews. Each pew has been sawed in half, creating the aisle, but rendering the pews functionless. On the left wall hang paint-by-numbers of the last supper and Gethsemane. On the right wall, a large collage of pew images.

Up front, a video is projected. The big head on the screen repeatedly and anxiously tells the people to "Please have a seat." On the stage, three chairs are open, but they have been reserved. They are used to play musical chairs; pausing the video signals the time to take a seat.

Installed spring of 2007 at St. Olaf College.
