Sapsis Rigging, Inc. Installs Truss for Peter Greenway's Leonardo's Last Supper Multimedia Exhibit

Sapsis Rigging, Inc. (SRI) designed and installed the truss system for the multimedia exhibit Leonardo's Last Supper: A Vision by Peter Greenway recently on view at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. SRI built the support structure for a full-scale replica of the Refectory of the Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan that would display a "clone" of da Vinci's masterpiece.

The truss rig measured approximately 38' high by 30' deep and 120' long. In addition to supporting the larger-than-life recreation of da Vinci's famous painting The Last Supper ( Il Cenacolo), the rig held an array of audio-visual and lighting equipment.

"Working at the Park Avenue Armory is always interesting and this project was no different. While getting the set into the right place was a bit of a challenge at times, it was great fun working with the Italian scenic artists," said project manager Michael Sapsis.
