Abortion = Art????

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.

WTF?!?!?! Ewwww!!!!!

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.

Ewwww!!!!

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

Double EWWWWWW!!!

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 U think?

      I'm not a doctor, but I knwo several misscarriages will cause her to lose a lot of calcium, which will affect her when she's older. I personally know a woman who had 10 misscarriages (not caused by her), and 15 years later she is very young and suffering from severe arthritis and diseases related to loss of calcium. The body is not something to be playing with, but I guess is her choice and freedom to mess with her's (the artist's). As far as not wanting to create a shock in the public….kiss my ass, no artist is that modest.

      We all know that is NOT art…that bitch is going to extreme to simply get extreme reactions…though she claims otherwise. Would this not be some sort of version of "murder," legally? Could she get into trouble for this? Though she has the right to choose, yada yada yada? Bitch doesn't need to spend money on art classes…she needs to spend money on getting herself and whatever daddy-issues, etc., she has looked into and fixed. :(

      I think this project is great. You say that you are for a womans right to choose but the outcome of this project could also be grounds for arguing pro-life platforms as there will be very real evidence of what it does to your body and what it does to a fetus during an abortion.

      I back her.

      54

      Why is it being referred to as art rather than what it really is,which is murder?How far are people going to be allowed to go in the name of art? Murdering dogs, now babies?

      I had a miscarriage.I would NEVER want to go through that again. This woman needs serious mental health care.

      Totally Brilliant! A fetus is not a person, so getting pregnant and rid of the pregnancy over and over makes people face that.

    57. Jen says – reply to this


      57

      This is absolutely sick and disgusting. As someone who is currently a mother of a six year old and five months pregnant and extremely excited about it even though it is far from an ideal situation for me, I feel that anyone who has any respect for life, whether you believe in abortion or not, should be appalled. This makes me want to vomit.
