January Blues
a group show curated by Linda Lewis
January Blues is that particular condition that appears at a time when the lack of light and the aftermath of seasonal celebrations can contribute to a shift in mental and emotional well being.
Why blue?
In the 19th century the English phrase blue devils referred to the upsetting hallucinations brought on by severe alcohol withdrawal. This was later shortened to the blues, which described states of depression and upset, and it was later adopted as the name for the melancholic songs that the musical genre encapsulates.
“Blue is the color of longing for the distances you never arrive in, for the blue world.”
