Presented in Saint Peter’s Gallery by Nevelson Chapel and NYC Culture Club in partnership with Midtown Arts Common
Curated by Jenny Mushkin Goldman
The pandemic, compounded by the Russian attack on Ukraine, has caused a collective confrontation with mortality and loss unlike anything in recent history.
This group exhibition addresses the entirety of the life cycle and delves into the promise of the everlasting. Individual works deal with themes of death, regeneration, and the hereafter. The pieces are placed in such a way as to invite a creative experience of these perennial themes beyond customary linear or circular approaches.
Life, Death, Hereafter is the second in a series of group exhibitions titled Intermissions – a joint venture of Nevelson Chapel and NYC Culture Club.
