Sacred Surveillance
Group Art Exhibition at St. Paul the Apostle Church, Manhattan
May 21st-June 20th, 2008
A group art exhibition exploring the concept Sacred Surveillance will be on display at the historic St. Paul the Apostle Church from May 21-June 30, 2008.
In Sacred Surveillance, each artist questions existence under the auspices of something greater: a quiet, conscious presence in one's daily movements or the artist in the role of flaneur, watching the world solemnly from a distance. The selected works discuss how this presence of the transcendent is disclosed through both the hidden and discursive elements of human experience. The exhibit responds to a variety of mediums including sculpture, painting, poetry and mixed media.
Participating artists: Katie Abpianalp, Robert Altchison, James Berroya, Aracell Cruz, LAuren Gohara, Imo Nse Imeh, Illyan Ivanov, Joey Kilrain, Susu Planchupattana, Susan Quilligan, John-Patrick Regalado, Laura Resheske, Frank Sabatte, Anthony Santella, Mareshah Yisral.
Artists' reception will take place on Wednesday, May 21 from 7-9 pm in the St. Paul the Apostle Church, W. 60th St. and 9th Ave. (Columbus).
For further information, please contact Frank Sabatte, CSP at 212.265.3209 ext 252, visit www.openingsny.com or artists@openingsny.com.
Hours: Daily 9am-5pm
About
Openings
Openings is the
Paulist Fathers
ministry to
young and
emerging visual
artists.
|
Mission
Statement:
Openings:
Artists
exploring
the
connection
between
their
creativity
and
spirituality. |
We believe that
artists are
moved by the
Mystery of God
to reveal more
of it to each
other and most
of all to those
who experience
their art. In
the words of
Francis Bacon,
"The job of the
artist is to
deepen the
Mystery."
 Openings is
rooted in the
Catholic
experience of
faith, a faith
that relies on
the experience
of the God in
whom we "live
and move and
have our being."
We believe in
the message of
Jesus Christ
that all persons
are beloved of
God without
exception or
conditions; that
God's desire is
to love us into
fullness of
Being.
Openings
sponsors
programs to
fulfill its
mission.
On Monday
evenings from
September to May
at St. Paul the
Apostle Church,
W59th and
Columbus Ave,
young artists
are welcome to
the Openings
Discussion.
Topics include
"art and making
a difference";
relationships;
identity and
other issues of
concern to
artists. After
the summer break
the program will
resume Monday
evening, Sept.
10, 2007 at 7pm
in the parish
center.
Openings
welcomes young
visual artists
18-35 to join
us.
