Bethany Collins: Art from an Enduring Melody

Bethany Collins has a new show, Cadence, at PATRON gallery in Chicago where she presents work that explores the political and social evolution of three songs, The Star-Spangled Banner, Auld Lang Syne and Dixie. Creating installations with music and "hymnals" that present the evolving lyrics inspired by competing political and social movements, Collins discusses the liberation and frustration of making art through "using the language of others to make sense of the world."
