YALE DAILY NEWS: VIA DRUDGE:
Art major Aliza Shvarts ’08 wants to make a statement.
Beginning next Tuesday, Shvarts will be displaying her senior art project, a documentation of a nine-month process during which she artificially inseminated herself “as often as possible” while periodically taking abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of these forced miscarriages as well as preserved collections of the blood from the process.
...The “fabricators,” or donors, of the sperm were not paid for their services, but Shvarts required them to periodically take tests for sexually transmitted diseases. She said she was not concerned about any medical effects the forced miscarriages may have had on her body. The abortifacient drugs she took were legal and herbal, she said, and she did not feel the need to consult a doctor about her repeated miscarriages.Shvarts declined to specify the number of sperm donors she used, as well as the number of times she inseminated herself.
... “I believe strongly that art should be a medium for politics and ideologies, not just a commodity,” Shvarts said. “I think that I’m creating a project that lives up to the standard of what art is supposed to be.”The display of Schvarts’ project will feature a large cube suspended from the ceiling of a room in the gallery of Green Hall. Schvarts will wrap hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting around this cube; lined between layers of the sheeting will be the blood from Schvarts’ self-induced miscarriages mixed with Vaseline in order to prevent the blood from drying and to extend the blood throughout the plastic sheeting.
What has been commoditized by this inhumane, disgusting and immoral act is the fetus - the nascent human life.
This is pure evil.
NOTHING COULD BETTER ILLUSTRATE THE DEPTHS TO WHICH THE POSTMODERNIST LEFT HAS SUNK.
Just when I think that I can no longer be shocked, along comes a story like this.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the uproar PETA would make were something like this to be done to an animal?
