<p>After years of disuse, an abandoned church in Spanish Harlem has opened its doors for a new art exhibit on religiosity and spirituality. Closed since its congregation dissolved in the 90s, St. John&#8217;s Episcopal American Catholic Church on the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 102nd Street, is the setting for &#8220;Sacrosanct,&#8221; a group exhibition produced by curator <a href="http://www.sophielvoff.com/blipbleep/sacrosanct-infos/">Sophie T. Lvoff</a>. The exhibition opened on Sunday with ten artists sculptures, photographs, videos and installations, including an intensely self-referential Last Supper scene, inside the once holy space. <span id="more-19166"></span>A closing reception from 5 to 10 PM on Sunday will feature the spiritual works accompanied by the sounds of the St. John&#8217;s Choir, Young Man About Town, and Patrick Cleandenim. Click the images below for a preview of the art by Antoine Catala, Stephen Collier, Patrick Duncan, <a href="http://www.zaqart.com/">Zaq Landsberg</a>, <a href="http://www.sophielvoff.com/blipbleep/sacrosanct-infos/">Sophie T. Lvoff</a>, Heather Macionus, <a href="http://www.santiagomostyn.com/">Santiago Mostyn</a>, Eric Payson, Grant Willing and Alana Celii amidst the dilapidated house of worship. </p>
