Saint Peter's: Views from Church and Basilica

This photography installation features images of two iconic spaces named Saint Peter’s. Newly-taken photographs of the Church’s Vignelli-designed organ (Klais 1977 — C.B. Fisk 2023), restored and reinstalled following a devastating flood in 2021, are juxtaposed with images from Anelli’s study of architectural shadow and light, taken over the course of a two year period during the extensive cleaning of St. Peter’s Basilica (Vatican City) just before the millennium jubilee.

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.

Textile artist Chellis Baird is getting ready to launch her latest exhibition, Meditative Motions, at Galleries at St. Peter’s Church, located at 619 Lexington Avenue. The show, opening November 14, will cover a variety of her arranged and painted textiles.

— Architectural Digest

In her exhibition, Chellis Baird paves the entryway of Nevelson Chapel with her sculptural paintings. Baird’s work lies at the intersection of painting, sculpture, and textiles. She believes that through texture, evidence of the human hand, and emotional sensations through color, one can move the viewer's eye from screens to the physical world.

Presented by Midtown Arts Common and Nevelson Legacy Council.

Chellis Baird was raised in a mill town from South Carolina And moved to New York in 2005 to work as a fashion designer. Her passion for textiles continued to grow into a new body of work as a painter. She holds a BFA in textiles from Rhode Island School of Design, and studied at the Art Students League in New York City.
