Take Care: Biomedical Ethics in the 21st Century
March 1 - March 29, 2012
This exhibit considers civilization's unease with modern family planning, maternal and fetal care, childbirth and child rearing.

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. The show highlights these bioethical dilemmas, the hope that viewers will take the opportunity to better appreciate the complexity of these personal decisions in a rapidly changing world.

Elohim: The Apocalyptic Time Machine. Works by Norbert H. Kox and William Thomas Thompson
February 24 - March 24, 2005
Elohim is the Hebrew word we translate as “God” and “apocalypse” is the New Testament word for revelation. The concept of “Elohim: Apocalyptic Time Machine,” is very simple and at the same time quite complex. Elohim, God, exists in a limitless eternity, outside of our realm of measured time. According to Scripture he know and sees the end from the beginning. This what makes prophecy possible. He sees what has happened before we experience it. To him it has already taken place. All past, present and future are recorded in the eternal archives of the omniscient Elohim. At times he chooses to allow certain people to glimpse into the future. This is prophetic revelation and apocalypse of things to come, and actual view of God’s memory. Since he holds all the knowledge of past, present and future, Elohim is a virtual time capsule, a time machine: Elohim the Apocalyptic Time Machine. Kox and Thompson feel that their paintings have been inspired and guided by the hand of Elohim, the Master of time and space, to allow others to see beyond the confines of the moment into the Eye of the Eternal.
