In his 1798 poem “Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey,” William Wordsworth recalls his boyish interactions with nature, and then describes what came later, “a sense sublime / Of something far more deeply interfused, / Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, / And the round ocean, and the living air, / And the blue sky, and in the mind of man, / A motion and a spirit, that impels / All thinking things, all objects of all thought, / And rolls through all things.” This exhibition, which takes its title from Wordsworth’s poem and is curated by Katy Hessel, presents art that addresses that rolling motion, that spirit. The artists are all female and contemporary, among them Vija Celmins, Prudence Flint, Kiki Smith, and Sanam Khatibi. —L.J.
