One of the seven exhibits, "The Sin Eat- ers," is a table and chair set. The "table" is made of two sculpture people who are dead, and the "chairs" are four sculptures seated around the ''table.'' Viewers are permitted to sit at any of the "chairs." The whole premise of 'The Sin Eaters" Losch said, is the ancient belief that people had to eat the sins of the dead in order for them to go to heaven. Other sculptures in the exhibit, "In Your Face," "Dirty Dancing," and "Kiss," are pretty straight forward.
