We are honored to present a work by @nancybakercahill which is featured in our current virtual exhibition. Nancy was integral in inspiring this show by infusing it with passion and verve. UNPROTECTED is an urgent and powerful exhibition as protest. Nancy Baker Cahill STATE PROPERTY, 2022 Digital sculpture State Property, a digital neon sculpture of an exploded uterus, refers to court-ordered, state-sanctioned intervention on bodies, where wombs become disembodied sites of legal and criminal action. Forced birth is violent. Cruel externalities, known and yet to come, are represented in the organ's fracturing. State Property underscores the corruption of what should be an individual's autonomous right to decide the circumstances under which reproduction occurs. Neon, often a language of cheap advertising, reflects the false promises of maternal support after birth. The fundamentalist salvo overturning Roe represents not just a constitutional crisis of personhood and an abject abuse of power, but one of precedent; public statements indicate that marriage equality and contraceptive rights are also now in the crosshairs. In this historic moment, artistic interventions will play a critical role in provoking meaningful public discourse and action. EPOCH offers an accessible and interactive opportunity to engage the public through powerfulartwork, shared resources, and funding for reproductive justice. On August 13th, the entirety of the UNPROTECTED exhibition will be released as a singular NFT containing a compilation of artworks by participating artists. A portion of the proceeds will go to support reproductive justice organizations. #epochgallery #unprotected #nancybakercahill #reproductivejustice #abortionfunds #contemporaryart #internetart #vr #virtualgallery #virtualart #artandtech #immersive #ecological #equitable #sustainable #algorand
