Abortion = Art???
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Wacky, Tacky & True

Sometimes people use the excuse of 'art' in order to get away with craziness!

Aliza Shvarts, a Yale art major, has done something different for her senior art project this year.

The 'artist' has documented herself throughout a 9 month process where she artificially inseminated herself and then periodically took abortifacient drugs in order to induce miscarriages.

The exhibit, which will begin next Tuesday, will include video recordings of the forced miscarriages.

what the f*ck?!?!?! Ewww!!!

It will also include preserved samples of the blood during the process.

According to Shvarts, her goal was to 'spark conversation and debate on the relationship between art and the human body.'

Students have expressed shock upon hearing of the exhibit. Rightfully so!

Shvarts insists that her art isn't for shock value. Liar. She says, 'I hope it inspires some sort of discourse. Sure, some people will be upset with the message and will not agree with it, but it's not the intention of the piece to scandalize anyone.'

As for the 'donors', she claims they were not paid for their 'services'. She also claims to have required them to periodically take tests for STDs, though did not want to disclose the number of sperm donors used.

As for the medical risk related to multiple abortions, Shvarts says she was not worried. She said the abortifacient drugs she took were herbal and legal, and decided she didn't need to consult a doctor.

IDIOT!!!

What if she's caused herself serious and permanent damage???

At least this 'artist' has one fan. Juan Castillo, another senior art major, said he was intrigued by the beauty of her project. He says, 'I really loved the idea of this project, but a lot other people didn't. I think that most people were very resistant to thinking about what the project was really about. [The senior-art-project forum] stopped being a conversation on the work itself.'

As for the actual exhibit, Schvarts will feature a large cube hanging from the ceiling. Wrapped around that cube will be hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting which will be lined with her blood from the miscarriages.

Ewww!!!

The old blood will be mixed with vaseline to prevent it from drying.

Double EWWW!!!

She will also project the recorded videos of herself, showing the miscarriages she had in her bathtub, onto the sides of the cube.

Similar footage will also be projected onto the walls of the room.

We're starting to get a bit queezy!

This is TOO MUCH!!!

Shvarts adds, 'It was a private and personal endeavor, but also a transparent one for the most part. This isn't something I've been hiding.' Adding, that she believes 'strongly that art should be a medium for politics and ideologies, not just a commodity. I think that I'm creating a project that lives up to the standard of what art is supposed to be.'

We're all for a woman's right to choose, but this is abusing that right.

We don't know what to think anymore.

What do you think?

It seems that this performance art has certainly got the dialog started. I think we should focus on something that just leapt out at me: everyone who responded, whether pro-life or pro-choice were horrified. That tells me that people in both camps share some common values here. I think that's where our discussion should start and that's maybe what the artist intended.

Think about that for a minute...

That is some sick shyt...that girl should be hanged

I think she def needs to go to jail or something and be kicked out of school imjust so freakin pissed...because so many people try and have children and cant and here is this stupid girl gettin pregnant a bunch of times and gettin rid of them on PURPOSE...ugh I want to scream lol

That is pretty sick. I'm very much prochoice, but that isn't right. Abortion should be the choice of giving up an accidental pregnancy (as in we used protection and it didn't work, I got raped, I'm only thirteen-seventeen, my husband died, etc...) that you do not have the means to provide for, not the sacrifice of a pregnancy just for the hell of sacrificing it.

that woman must be a total idiot or she needs a padded cell
im pro abortion if needed but to seriously do this sick s*it is too much

I can't imagine what advisor approved this.

all I can think is 'What the hell'

what the f*ck! thats freakin disgusting in my opinion however I don't know what she sees as art and w/e so I just thinks its crazy but maybe she thikns its beautiful...

That's horrible... I can't believe that, and I can't believe anyone would support her.
Disgusting and Stupid.

people now a days will do anything and claim its art. go into an art gallery sometime and check out the modern or abstract exhibit. Im sorry but I dont think that a toilet seat taped to a wall is art. nor is the gentleman (and I use that term loosely) who canned his own fecal matter(sh*t) and sold it as art. weirdos go back sooo far in history. Im not excusing this by any means and I dont agree that what this woman is in any way art, but honestly, how is this any different from people who dig up corpses and put them on display?(no they may not have killed those people, but its still glorifying death is it not?) or for the individual who created the exhibit on muscles in the human body? Im sure youve heard of it, this person used cadavers and stripped the skin down to the muscle and posed the corpses and they had this running in museums and stuff. yeah youre all outraged, and rightfully so, but if thats the case, she obviously made her point. firstly, shes got you all talking, and secondly, shes famous. ta-da!!! youre just giving weirdos a reason to keep doing this junk.

Okay if shes going to get pregnant, the least she could do is let another woman that she knows wants to have a baby and have her carry it...she should n't be killing her own child

That goes to tell you that 'ignorance is not bliss!' St$#%&* woman. I would like to throw her around and get some sense into her and call it art!

Can any of you people do a simple internet search?

It was all some piece of performance art, and none of it is true.

How the hell is that art? Like, I'm pretty open minded towards what is included as art, but the only way to describe that is: SICK!!!

I want to kill her her, throw her in a public place and consider her as ART!!!
I'm sure there's something wrong with her mind!! she's killing her OWN CHILD!!! WHERE'S LOVE? DIDN'T SHE SUFFER WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT? SHE DOESN'T LOVE HER OWN BABY?!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!!!

Thats like the dumb a$$ 'artist' who starved a dog in an art gallery to 'teach us the inhumane treatment to animals' People are insane.

omg that is horrible and sooo grosss

Time to end it people the language is kinda strong here and if you read this http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/24530 which jimahl shows it's a hoax you can all simmer down since it never happened. . .
