About This Event
Opening in spring 2026, Chicago-based artist Bethany Collins presents The Deluge, an exhibition comprising multiple bodies of work that each navigate an existential storm. Through sculpture, sound, and works on paper, Collins traces what it means to inhabit a world where words, memory, and history surge and intertwine. Drawing from literary pillars such as Herman Melville’s Moby Dick and Sophocles’s Antigone, as well as songs rooted in Americana, she culls these sources to uncover currents of resistance and perseverance while also exposing the cataclysmic forces — undertows of violence and conflict — that have shaped them. Her works surface from deep historical waters, where language floods its own boundaries, rising, receding, and returning with the weight of memory. In The Deluge, meaning endures not through stability but through movement: a current that carries the remnants of what history cannot let go.
