Time to Procreate: Fertility in the Age of A.R.T. (Assisted Reproductive Technology)
Jeanette May
Wednesday, 17 Sep 2008 at 8:00 pm – Gallery, Memorial Union
Jeanette May is an artist and activist who creates humorous, feminist works in a variety of media. The exhibit Fertility in the Age of A.R.T wryly combines photographs and text in order to reveal the clashing perspectives on contemporary fertility issues. The sheer volume of fertility-related images, advertisements, news items, and self-help books evidence a peculiar and powerful alchemy of culture, nature, and technology. May received her MFA in photography from the California Institute of the Arts and her BFA in painting from the University of Illinois. She currently teaches photography at the Corcoran College of Art and Design and George Washington University in Washington D.C. May's exhibit will be on display through October 12 in the Memorial Union Gallery.Cosponsored By:
