In 2001, it was featured at the 49th Venice Biennale in Arentina. In 2004, it found a permanent home at the 21st Century Art Museum in Kanazawa, Japan. In 2008, the fake pool was set up for a 2 year installation at MoMA's PS1 Contemporary Art Center. And as of December 2010, the pool was being installed in the <a href="http://www.qag.qld.gov.au/">Gallery of Modern Art</a> in Brisbane, Australia.<br /><br />In Japan:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoO8m-wUH4C6aVMHMD7PHo7SdHiNCWcfVQ5uRYiCLKQ1uwG12TTZektwVYFQadvEytivm0qv_BOZGkdMuAagRsFN4PGAvJ48hNJdaYrjqirdASElovEb39xbxnHFstNTihfYcRNUSFAXI/s1600/IMG_1100.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566709891658146850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoO8m-wUH4C6aVMHMD7PHo7SdHiNCWcfVQ5uRYiCLKQ1uwG12TTZektwVYFQadvEytivm0qv_BOZGkdMuAagRsFN4PGAvJ48hNJdaYrjqirdASElovEb39xbxnHFstNTihfYcRNUSFAXI/s400/IMG_1100.JPG" style="cursor: pointer;
