Too Crowded: Santa Monica artist Alma Lopez will have to wait a little longer to find out the next step in the controversy over her digital collage "Our Lady." Catholics have demanded that the artwork, which depicts the Virgin of Guadalupe clad only in roses and held aloft by a bare-breasted angel, be removed from a show at the state-run Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, N.M. A public meeting of the museum's governing board set to discuss the matter was canceled Wednesday because a crowd of 600 could not be accommodated in the meeting room. The meeting has been rescheduled for Monday--in a space big enough for 800.
