Superhouse is pleased to announce Hero’s Wreck, a solo exhibition by Virginia-based artist and designer Colin Knight. On view from September 5 through October 18, 2025, Hero’s Wreck explores masculinity, memory, and myth through new sculptural furniture works. The exhibition unfolds as a fragmented heroic epic—one told through sculpture, allegory, and objects that blur the lines between artifact, survival tool, and sacred reliquary. An essay by celebrated craft and design scholar Glenn Adamson accompanies the exhibition. Hero’s Wreck reimagines myth and masculinity through the lens of war, trauma, and rebirth. Knight traces two intertwined protagonists: one inspired by the artist Joseph Beuys, famously rescued after his WWII plane crash; the other, a fictional British Spitfire pilot whose journey echoes Beuys’ in parallel. Across a series of new works—seating, lighting, and wallworks—Knight uses the visual vocabulary of mid-century design to probe how heroism is constructed, idealized, and inevitably dismantled.
