Heidi Whitman Maps a Violent History with "Ahab's Head: American Vengeance"

As Captain Ahab and his crew learn aboard the Pequod, humans cannot bend the universe to their will no matter how narrow their focus or outsize their power. In Ahabโ€™s Head: American Vengeance at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, multidisciplinary artist Heidi Whitman considers contemporary violence, egotism, and fate through the lens of Herman Melvilleโ€™s Moby Dick, Or The Whale.
