St. Petersburg group show illustrates personal growth in motion

The wheels are turning at C. Emerson Fine Arts, 909 Central Ave., St. Petersburg. "Cycles" is a new group show with nine artists taking conceptual approaches to the idea of revolution (as in personal growth, not government upheaval) and some use motion as a metaphor. If all this sounds a bit wonky, consider Kim Radatz's sculpture Some People Say I Done Alright for a Girl, in which a mannequin pulls her load on pom-pomed roller skates. Or Frank Strunk III's Cycle/Subcycle, which rejiggers bicycle parts. The exhibition continues through May 29. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday. c-emersonfinearts.com or (727) 898-6068.
