TAKE CARE: Biomedical Ethics in the 21st Century

Opening reception: Thursday, March 1st, 4:30-6:30pm
Curator's talk at 5pm.
This exhibition features 13 sculpture, video, and photographic works by nine international contemporary artists whose work addresses the unprecedented bioethical dilemmas brought about by the rapid advancement of medical technology.
This advancement has brought with it unprecedented bioethical dilemmas. Particularly in economically advanced countries, technologies are outpacing our ability to fully understand their moral implications. This exhibit considers civilization's unease with modern family planning, maternal and fetal care, childbirth, and child rearing. This includes the decision to use pharmaceuticals with their associated risks, and whether to risk passing on genetic diseases. In these situations, we are no longer able to rely on long-established religious, societal or medical expertise for guidance, and too often, we only grapple with such problems at the time of crisis.
Artists in this show are: Kristina Arnold, Monica Bock, Sher Fick, Annette Gates, Jeanette May, Lindsay Obermeyer, Adrienne Outlaw, Libby Rowe, Sadie Ruben. This traveling exhibition was organized by the Nashville Cultural Arts Project (NACP), Nashville, TN.
An interdisciplinary panel discussion titled "Modern Family: Ethics and New Biotechnologies" will take place in the Lawton Gallery foyer on Wednesday, March 7, from 10:30-11:30am. This event is free and open to the public.
