if Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
In the dead of Winter, even February can see a temporary thaw. Such moment of relative warmth reminds us that, from the raw West Wind blowing across Chelsea from the Hudson, eventually come warmer breezes to usher in the rebirth the blossoming of a creative Spring.
In this, the final section of 鈥淥de to the West Wind,鈥� Shelley takes a remarkable turn, transforming the wind into a metaphor for his own art, the expressive capacity that drives 鈥渄ead thoughts鈥� like 鈥渨ithered leaves鈥� over the universe, to 鈥渜uicken a new birth鈥濃�攖hat is, to quicken the coming of the Spring. Metaphorically, this Spring symbolizes the possibilities of the poetic faculties, and the powers of aesthetic expression鈥攁 guiding spirit of this new group show at Stux. Encompassing painting, photography, and sculpture, the works on view each seek in their own way to awaken the allusive
imagination of the viewer, sparking inventive connections that will play through the gallery space, building a new fire, stoked by this wind.
