Abortion transmogrifies into art (and update)

“Art has to stop being something hanging on the wall, it has to be lived…breathed …everyday”

“I believe strongly that art should be a medium for politics and ideologies, not just a commodity,” Yale undergraduate art student Aliza Shvarts said. “I think that I’m creating a project that lives up to the standard of what art is supposed to be.”

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 abortions. Her exhibition will feature video recordings of the abortions of her own babies as well as preserved collections of blood from the process.

Yale Daily News reports that Reproductive Rights Action League of Yale, a pro-abortion group, said they were not previously aware of Schvarts’ project, but student Alice Buttrick, an officer of RALY, said the group was in no way involved with the art exhibition and had no official opinion on the matter.

No opinion? On this?

Update: Yale University is now saying that the student art exhibit purporting to show abortions is a hoax.

Perhaps. Or maybe they heard from enough infuriated parents and alumni, threatening to cut of the money spigot, that they decided it better be a prank.
