SIDE AFFECT alludes the U.S Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) evolving regulatory practices since its inception in 1892. Mindful of the growing power and influence of private and public lobbyists, the artists participating in this exhibition examine the United States's permissive pharmaceutical and genetically modified organism (GMO) policies , and their effects on health and the environment. 

The exhibition features works of Waddy Armstrong, Mayra Barraza, Tim Best, Sandow Birk, Du Chau, Letitia Huckaby, Vince Jones, Mona Kasra, Kathy Lovas, Ryan Sarah Murphy and Laray Polk.
