The Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design Gallery is pleased to present (Unrelated), on view February 20-24, 2012. The public is invited to an opening reception on Thursday, February 23, from 6 until 8 p.m.
(Unrelated), an MFA exhibition by Bethany Collins, recalls moments in the formation of racial identity. Connected by an obsessive preoccupation with text, (Unrelated) is yet another attempt to navigate the binary paradigm of race in the American South by defining and re-defining the artists own racial landscape.

To Be Real is a solo exhibition by Atlanta-based artist Bethany Collins to be on display in the Xchange Gallery at The Arts Exchange October 15 November 5, 2011. The work is
an exploration of racial identity, authenticity, and definitions, and represents a continued longing for what author Rebecca Walker refers to in her autobiography as the black outline around my body that everyone else seems to have. A large-scale chalkboard wall drawing will be accompanied by acrylic and graphite paintings on brown paper bags and un-stretched canvas.
The exhibition will open along with The Arts Exchange Open House, 750 Kalb Street SE, Atlanta, GA 30312, on Saturday, October 15, 4 pm - 8 pm. The public is invited. For further information, call404-624-4211.
"Bethany Joy Collins declares that her allegories of the The Traceable Amount (of African American blood determining racial identity) reflect her interest in multiple meanings, dual perception, and limitlessness in the seemingly binary. This could be taken as the motif of the whole exhibition..."

"The recent passage of Arizonas anti-immigration law inspired the current group exhibition at Archetype Gallery. Each artist voices their perspective on the issue in a variety of media."
