Abortion = Art

 Coolness: 77330 | 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. 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. Shvarts insists that her art isn't for shock value.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." 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. The old blood will be mixed with vaseline to prevent it from drying. 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. 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." I personally think this is great!! |

 Coolness: 265995 | heh reminds me of a debate I had with a friend regarding the body worlds expo. last year. I was dying to see it, he thought it was the most vile thing ever..
me: The human body is ART in itself. him: NO! IT'S SCIENCE! me: THAT'S ART WITH A CAPITAL 'A'. I like this project and I think it's interesting too, although I know that personally I could never put myself through that... so it's nice to know there's people out there who are this fucked out of their minds. :) |

 Coolness: 158275 | No. No, no no no no! This is all wrong.
1) An American artist doesn't understand what's shocking about abortion issues, in the states?!? 2) Abortion does NOT equal art. It equals free food, damnit. |

| Coolness: 685630 | forced cervical dilation usually causes cervical scars.. not 100% of the time, but often. The stress of inducing abortion also tends to cause scars on the uterine walls. |
