Abortion = Art????
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Wacky, Tacky & TrueSometimes 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?
Too stupid and pathetic to even comment on. Next!
What a sick bitch! She needed to be a miscarriage!
this woman is CRAZYYYYYY!!!!! What she did was totally stupid on a number of levels. I believe in a woman's right to choose, but there are no words to describe how disrespectful this was to every living being on this planet.
My god what are we coming to? This is beyond disturbing. I feel this woman needs some help from a mental health professional.

Mis? carraige. More like HIT!
But, she could have pushed this further.
Abortion Noodle Soup? Warhol where are you when we need you.

I feel sick reading that!! This gal needs Britany Spears daddy to help her also cause she is LOCO in the cabeza!!
I really think this is probably the grossed thing I have ever read in my life. What is wrong with people honestly? Her art…proved NOTHING except for the fact she is a sick FUCK!!
have you always been a republican perez?
That is the most disgusting and horrifying thing that I have ever heard. The girl is sick!!!! I am not pro-life but this is really pushing it. The school should not allow this.
This is disgusting… as an artist I always saw art as beauty - creation. But lately it seems as if art is murder. First the story of someone starving a dog and now this? I think its sad that we live in a society where shit is so fucking up that someone has to kill something in order to bring a shock value.
im at a loss of words..this girl is fucking gross!!!!!!!!!!
wow…i cnt believe they are allowing her to do this. this is rediculous
I know that is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard in my whole life!!! What is this world coming to?!?!
Let me get this straight-no pun intended-It is illegal for gays to get married but legal for this psycho to do this-something is seriously WRONG with this fuckin world!
i'm all about women having the right to choose, but this is insane! her art is inhumane. and who in their right mind would actually want to watch all these miscarriages on film? watch, she'll start getting phone calls from some porn websites wanting to show the vids…there are some crazy fetishes out there. fucked. up.
I can't say I agree with this but I do support free speech and will, so I'm not entirely sick with her. Its like Voltaire said "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death you're right to say it." Having said that though, I would never do that.
horrifying and disgusting. SO offensive to people who have had actual miscarriages. ask them if their miscarriage was "art", bitch.
Actually, I hope she DID do herself permanent damage. This sounds like someone who should never EVER reproduce…
Re: Kate – So you want someone to have mulitple abortions for no reason, so other people won't have abortions for valid reason? You conservatives are very strange…
A place like Yale should have the intelligence to realize a crime when the see it. They should be held responsible, as should she.
Perez eres el mejor!!! Saludos desde Ecuador! Que le pasa a la gente de mie….!!! People is getting more crazy than ever, wtf is happenning!!!!
What do I think? I think I know one other person who will use the excuse of "art" to get away with craziness. Like taking a very famouse religous painting and putting Madonna's face and Perez's face in place of the Virgin Mary and Baby Messiah. That's pretty sick to, if not sicker. And I'm not even that religous, so that says a whole lot coming from me. But I won't name any names.
She already has permanent damage…this is why women SHOULD NOT have a right to choose - she should go to jail for murder charges for EACH of the babies she killed - fucking disgusting sicko -
This bitch is soooooooooo fucked up. I'm a mom and she has took shock value to a new level. I can't believe that her professor is allowing her to do this. Although me personally would NOT abort but is it a woman's body and her choice but this bitch is killing and putting it on public display. We should just stone this bitch!!!!!!!!
Ok it's art to you but fucked up to every other human. Get a clue from that, seriously. That's sick, she should keep it to herself if it's such a "personal endeavor" and such art. im so glad people eventually die. Everyone fucks up so bad they never deserve eternal life. Who would want a mom like that anyways.
I think we should all e-mail the dean. I cannot believe a school (especially one as 'respected' as Yale) would even stand for this. What is this suppose to teach?!?!
When a woman who is pregnant is murdered, it is considered a double homicide…why can't this be considered the same thing? She intentionally killed. I mean, it is one thing to have an abortion because you aren't ready for children, or are unhealthy or whatever reasons you may have at the time. But those would be because of an accident! Why hasn't she been arrested?!?!
I can't believe there is someone more insane than the writer of this blog!
TRIPLE EWWWW
SICK. This is not, art.
I am for the Right to Choose, but this is disgusting and I'm speechless!
i live in new york city, and have worked with fine artists, went to art school and am very into the art world. this woman is not an artist. she is getting attention for doing something outrageous, which in no way constitutes art. i can even see a place for shock art (damien hirst), when the provocativeness is not the only legitimation for the art. she has however succeeded in her goal of forcing dialogue and getting noticed (the latter i imagine weighing more in importance to her).
Abortion is a necessary evil. Done unnecessarily it is just evil
wow, i don't even have words right now. i do, but this thread doesn't need a lot of f this and f that everywhere.
she IS disgusting. women fight every day for their right to chose for reproductive rights. she is perverting this decision and SHE is the reason law makers might be looking at abortion a little more.
You are a horrible person. If 10 years from now you decide to mature and can't have babies, look back to this time.
Utterly disgusting.
I think she is a murderer
You people saying she's right it's her body, are pathetic! So let me ask you this. Because she's ruining her body doing this and maybe, just maybe she'll want to have a baby and get pregnant( if she can)…who is gonna take care of the baby? US, the governmewnt, our tax dollars? WHY? Because her kid is going to be mentally retarded just like her, and she's not going to want it. She's already proving that she's selfish. So fukk the "It”s her body" BS.
And to the folkks saying it's OK, it's art, it makes a point. F U, too. She make no sense and you're not an artist, you're a murderer, too…looking for excuses to do the absurd. This is what's we have to do for shock value? Please!
you people are so conservative and praise life on the formal christian lifestyle of procreation and ideals of "love" and family. She is trying to challenge the thoughts that we have embedded in our society, which limits us from accepting people of different races, genders, sexualities and so forth. Before you Ewe something, take a moment and think about makes it ewe and why so. Think for a second.
art for art's sake exists to push limits. bravo and hat's off to this woman
what is WRONG with this STUPID girl?
there are millions of people out there trying genuinely to get pregnant, and then she goes and does it loads of times, and then getting abortions for an ART PROJECT??
That is immoral.
All of u are some sick mother fuckers
This is completely disgusting. I am 100% liberal and for a woman's right to choose but INDUCING labor only to abort is not only damaging to the person doing so, but it becomes a blatant disregard for the miracle of life and childbirth.
This kinda of bs should be illegal. She is abusing her 'right to choose'. She makes me sick. I've personally had miscarriages- of babies that I wanted more than anything. The idea of repeatedly doing this shows a total disregard for human life and for the entire process of being pregnant and giving birth. I hope this comes back to haunt her.
As a woman who has experienced 2 early miscarriages and a stillbirth at 34weeks all I have to say is this woman (I use that term lightly) is a disgrace to all womankind… What kind of sick, twisted pshyco would do something like this? This article has made me cry only because this idiot purposely got pregnant just to get abortions… How could any woman do that knowing there are women in this world that would give anything to have a baby??? This woman is a sick, disgusting, twisted, psychotic, and pathetic excuse for a woman…
she is going straight to hell and that's it.
This bitch should be locked up. Way to go and ruin women's rights!!!!
CAUSE NOW THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO CHANGE THEM!
THIS BITCH SHOULD BE IN JAIL!!!!!
OK, you don't have to agree with her. But she does have the right to do what she wants with her body. AND she has people in a tizzy. She started a dialogue which is her intention.
okay this bitch is crazy! and art majors wonder why they are not taken seriously. I am all for art and the freedom to express yourself in any way you feel. But, come on this is pushng the envelope. She didnt do anything in the name of ART. She has taken the most sacred act that GOD has given as women and made into a joke. Our bodies can be used in various ways to expresss art…but taking it to the level of sharing something that for some women is the worst experience of their lives and show casing it as if to laugh in their face is wrong. This girl is lucky someone hasnt done something to her. Creating life and disposing of it so easliy is no easy task, and should not be used for her enjoyment or to prove some kind of little 'IM AN ART STUDENT I WANT ATTENTION" POINT. You think because you dress weird and your ugly you can do whatever you want. Bitch is lucky she hasnt crossed my path.
THAT is murder.
She is confused between politics and religion. God decides how she will ultimately be judged, not other humans. I cannot imagine taking a life–no matter how small–so lightly and then referring to the death of that being as art. I believe abortion is a personal choice that should be chosen via the legal guidelines. The action itself is something that God will judge and I would think judge harshly when taken with such malice!!! God bless those sweet, precious babies!!!
This is F***ing sick… are you kidding me.. that somebody would do this! Theres a fine line with abortions and she has DEF CROSSED it serveral times. I believe in pro choice. but She needs to be put in jail for this one.. lets get preg just to prove you can loose it are kidding.
SICK!
that bitch doesn't know a shit about art
She should think about all the loving, caring, wonderful women in this world who hope and pray everyday of their lives wishing they could have a baby of their own. There are millions of women everyday who have to deal with the sadness of a miscarriage and the loss of a baby. Some women go through this awful ordeal time and time again, and it's so sad to see. She's mocking them and throwing their sadness back in their face.
that's is effing gross, if she was in california doing this 'project' she probably could be arrested, isn't it illegal to purposely kill? it's not like she 'accidentally' got pregnant and then had an abortion….she purposely got pregant and had an abortion…shouldn't she at least be forced to have the 'waterworks' taken out in case she tries another 'art exhibit'????? eewww, ewww, ewww
I wonder what grade she will get
Re: pissedoffasfuck –
Send her an email and tell her that. I did. Also sent one to the Dean at Yale and I urge everyone to do the same. She needs to be expelled, at the very least. I'd personally like to beat her to death with my bare hands, but since the Dean is unlikely to do that, expulsion is what he needs to do. SO, everyone, please take a minute out to email them both and express yourself accordingly… (email addresses posted by others - THANKS, PEOPLE WHO POSTED THEM!! )
Who cares what it did to her body. What a sick freak!
This is so sad and sick!!
Q' SA MUCHACHA ESTA LOCA O Q'…. SHE HAS NO MORALS, HOW CAN SHE BE PLAYING WITH BABIES LIVES….. SHES CRAZY….. I THOUGHT SHE WOULD HAVE BRAINS COMMON SENSE SINCE SHES FROM YIELD!!!!!!!
I think this is hideous! There are so many great women out there that want to have children more than anything else in this world, and can't. And here is this moron who is continuosly getting pregnant and then aborting them!?!?!? She is nutts! I hope she is UNABLE to have a kid when she decides that she is "ready". She doesn't deserve to be a mother. This is just sad and sick.
This is not art and this woman is not clever. If she was smart enough to get accepted into Yale, she could have come up with a better way to make her point. Or perhaps she's dumb as a box of rocks and can only make her point by being crude and shocking.
Yes it is a woman's right to choose. But it's not nobody's right to create and take life for the sake of entertainment.
Too bad she can't be thrown in jail, but I hope by Perez publishing her photo, she becomes the one of the most recognized and hated people in the world. I hope she can't walk down the street without people spitting at her… for the rest of her life!!!
Re: audrey – LOL!!! what a hypocrite you are! so I gather you don't get paid for being an "Art Historian", didn't think so!!!! what a stupid bitch like art has EVER had anything to do with anyone except the rich, I hate these fucking pretentious assholes defending the most unspeakable acts in the name of art!
Re: pissed as hell –
I agree 100%! What person would do this to themselves let alone innocent humans? This is not art.
Below is the contact information for the RECKLESS IDIOTS at Yale that allowed this SICK & DEMENTED BITCH to create this piece of murderous "art".
RE:
Aliza Shvarts
There are countless magazines devoted to politics, economics, philosophy, literature, and music, but not a single undergraduate publication focuses on art and art history.
We are here to change that. "Dimensions" seeks to provide the Yale community with a more comprehensive view of visual art by engaging students from diverse backgrounds to write about art, with point-of-views ranging from those of creators, critics, philosophers, to historians.

AND THIS CHICK GOT INTO YALE?
Gross - Gross and beyond GROSS
she is obviously a wack job… how can the school let her do this?? by allowing her to do this they themselves are murders!!!!!!
Can't anyone stop this? Where are her parents? Wow….The world is seriously a scary place today!
How horrific! So many women struggle with infertility — how sad this woman chooses to get pregnant only to abort it. Just disgusting. I am pro-choice, but this is crossing the line. Her exhibit should be aborted, and I hope no one goes. I also hope this is the only time Perez Hilton gives her any recognition . . . lady, just go away!
THis should be under "if youre easily offended"
What a shame.. I have tried and tried to get pregnant & have a family & still haven't been gifted with a child. What a stupid, demonic bitch to take pregnancy for granted. skank!!
this would never happen in an SEC school. thank GOD for the SOUTH.
Re: Jewfus – Because women can't be trusted to make an informed choice? All because one is nuts? Then are all men rapists?
This is extremely sick and disgusting.. I can't believe someone would even think of doing something like that
She is out of her mind. This is in no way art.
this"woman" should be ashamed of her self… there are soo many women out in the world that would love to get pregnant but they can't for what ever reason and this so called "artist" is purposely
getting pregnant and then having abortions.. that to me is sooo insane and ilegall, one day she will regret it, when she is older and married and actually wants to have a baby and then can't because all the things her body has endure, then she will regret what she once called "art".
I consider myself to be a liberal. Nothing really shocks me anymore either. I am not shocked by what she proposes. I am, however deeply saddened. There are too many women everyday who agonize over their reproductive choices, who choose to terminate a pregnancy, knowing that they will never be the same, never completely recover from their loss. Too many women miscarry by no fault of their own and are pushed into the depths of sadness that, clearly, this young woman cannot comprehend. Her art will be displayed. People will talk. But I challenge her. I challenge her to feel what so many others have felt. She used herself as paint, but in painting, she felt nothing. I challenge her to wrap her mind around what she did and feel.
this is honestly one of the most bizzare disgusting thing that i have ever heard. im all for women having the right to chose , but she is completely abusing the privlidge. There are millions of women worldwide who want to have children and cant. this is NOT art
Pro-choice for life, but this woman is insane and needs to have her head checked.
Congratulations Psycho U just kill lots of little people to feed ur craziness. I hope for the sake of all things good is barren and can never have kids again. What a waste of life she is! this exhibit is sick sick sick!
who ever said MURDER is right..you can't just create life and kill it for 'art'. i hope she is unable to have kids after this and rots in hell. what a FREAK.
She will rot in her own special hell. To conceive a child and kill it for sport is just wrong. This person is sick and should be steralized to prevent her intentional slaughter of innocent lives.
Wow. That's the epitome of human arrogance. To call the purposeful creation and destruction of a fetus "Art" when it's just about "daddy didn't love me enough and now I need the attention."
I'm pro-choice, but playing God pushes the boundaries of good taste. And if having some sense of morality means that I am that much less of an academic then THAT is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Re: Patrick M – look her you dibshit are you a fucking girl or a doctor have you ever got a girl pregnant and gone to the fucking doctor with her to see the ultrasound? cuz if you did you would relize a fetis is a fucking person it has a goddamn heart beat and blood flowing through its veins soo dont sit here and say its briallent b/c a fetis isnt a human it is you fucking pieace of shit. you fucking die and rot in hell just like that fucking dirty ass bitch
Re: Jessica –
Agree, and I told her so in the email I sent her. Told her I could only hope one day she is wanting a baby, only to find out she cannot due to her own evil, stupid, murdering ways…
This is horrible. Perez is right: women should have the right to chose, but they should not abuse that right, other. This is just another (admittedly VERY good reason) for politicians to deny women in general the right to abort, even though lots of them would probably treat it more responsibly than this 'artist'.
Bottom line: These are lives this woman is systematically creating and taking, apparently without conscience, and its not her place. Who the fuck does she think she is?
Re: HER BODY, WHO CARES? –
ok it isn't the fact about it being her body it is the fact of all those babies she killed trying to conceive and being a murderer are too totally opposit different things and i think your comment was pretty fucking stupid
Re: Kate –
I was looking through this string of comments for you….the one psycho who thinks this is anything but vile. You want to know what happens to the body during an abortion? Read a fucking book,talk to a doctor. You are the reason I'm afraid to have children. They will be raised in a world with people who think the way you do. That's just unfair to any child. Maybe you think the 2 year old being forced to do drugs is a good idea too you jackass.
I have had an abortion and it was the worst experience ever. I have never stopped feeling the tremendous guilt that most women feel after an abortion. In my opinion this woman is a monster with no respect for life. Having an abortion is a serious decision and one not to be taken lightly. How can anyone be so insensitive?
What a sick BITCH! I am unable to get pregnant and I really would love to kick that skank's ass about right NOW!
I have been thinking about this and can't get it off my mind. Everyone should mass e-mail the staff and president at Yale. This should not be an example for anyone to follow. It is just plain sick!
sick sick sick
This story is a perfect example of the free will God gave us, and how we abuse it.
You can actually make yourself believe something, against your God given conscience or just plain common sense.
You can make up a lie, and then believe it with all your heart, completely forgetting you made it up.
This is the mind fucking/rape that has been done to our world from such "artists"/sociopaths.
I can go on stage, squat, take a dump, fling it at the audience and call it art, but even a retarded child knows that it isn't. Only adult "intellectuals" who are all cerebral and who have willed-away there own heart and soul, would believe this is art.
This should be a warning next time you see Madonna hanging from a faux cross, Quentin Tarantino presenting images of people being mutilated, Howard Stern dumping on women, etc….
You didn't just witness art…you just got mind raped by an "artist", with the hopes that you'll be just as tarnished and sick as they are.
She is damaged…………something is wrong when you view the death of a fetus as art……a lot of people struggle with pregnancy and miscarriage, I'm not saying that people do not have a right to choose when placed in the position, but to waste a human life for the sake of "art" is criminal not art.
SHE IS A MURDERER!!!
as a staunch prol-choice activist, I'm appauled. This will do nothing but harm for rights that are vital to (sane) women's health. This is strictly for attention, and I can't image any Pro-choice activists getting behind this.
I don't know what to say. Maybe this is a wake up call to how wrong abortion really is. I don't know. I'm very confused as to why a person would do such a thing. It's bothering me.
Perez, you're a hypocritical piece of fat shit complaining about this woman when you were quite happy to use an image of a dead, deformed baby on one your posts earlier this year. Fucking fat useless asshole, I really hope this all comes back and bites you on your disgusting morbidly obese ass one day soon.
wow…..
im for womans rights and all but this is just… wow
That is so fucked up! I hope she dies a horrible and painful death. How can any of this be legal? She is going to hell.
I study art. This is child abuse not art.
I am all for a womens right to choose BUT– WTF? There are women out there who can't get pregnant at all and then there is people like this that think its a game and call it art?
I am highly disgusted….
Re: kingtyler – why ont you go fucking slit ur wrists and die
sick twisted pig…once you become pregnant that is a life….she is no better than a serial murderer…women have the right to choose and there are reasons but hers is murder and sick.this is what our world is i want to live on mars
It's her body. It's her art. let it be what it is. if you dont like it then dont look….
i think its brilliant.
