I still remember standing in front of
Michael Tracy's enormous triptych on a February 2015 visit to St. Louis University's
Museum of Contemporary Religious Art. The massive work continues to look out over the rest of the gallery, but it's now joined for the exhibit "MOCRA: 25" (through Feb. 17) by another of Tracy's works. The exhibit celebrates the museum's quarter of a century with the works of 25 artists. Prior exhibits have examined the spiritual side of Andy Warhol, AIDS and the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. [
