I'd say this was a joke - but its the second time I heard it today.

Oy. This disturbs me.

Won't one of her instructors explain that not only is she doing something almost psychopathic, but making terrible art in the process?

what she should have done was abort each potential child at different stages, from zygote mucus to crowning third trimester infant, then lay them out in a kiddie pool of her own sacrificial blood. i feel like soup.

sick...

praise my biological mother for putting me up for adoption instead of using her pregnancy as means to an art project. this individual is apparently unbelievably selfish and completely lacking in morals. is absolutely nothing sacred? she got what she wanted though, we are all talking about it now, which means it must be art and not just a sociopathic means to get attention.

Sweet Jesus!

I hope this is a joke.

assuming it's not a joke. I'm really curious to see how her body reacts to all of this.

and a part of me hopes that she'll react in a way that she'll regret even thinking about it in the first place.

i hope she has a hysterectomy

If true, sounds like she's an attention-yearning reactionary.

I wish there was some kind of organization out there who would monitor weather or not people have the right to call themselves 'artists.'

That's ironic that you advocate compulsory licensing of artists while accusing someone else of being reactionary.

I like the idea of licensing artists.

If you get pulled over by the cops for urinating on a flagpole, just flip out your badge:

"sorry, officer. I'm a licensed artist."

"Oh, pardon me, sir. Please continue."

I've always wanted to do an art project where I brutally murder someone on film and then pin up their remains on a wood cross in an Ivy-League art gallery.

sounds like a b-version of the already b-movie the shape of things.

Uggghhh.

I mean really?

Perhaps the artist could end by filling her uterus with concrete.

It's bold. And it seems like the appropriate finale.

Okay maybe I was excessive with the need for an "art monitor."

But as an artist myself, it really bothers me when people do stupid shit like this and masquerade around as "artist."

Here is another revolting example:

isn't it still a sociopathic means to get attention if we're talking about it?

I hope she starts appearing in Yaz and orthotricyclene ads now as a spokesperson, a la Jared from Subway!

sigh... an abortion pill like RU-486 is not the same as birth control. If we can't even get that straight, then we'll never embrace the morning after pill, which will actually make the US a better place.

this is a horrible act, and my comment is completely apart from what this girl has done, but dont just use it to mock ivy league universities..

true ks. this kind of thing could happen anywhere.

If there is anything in history that has commanded a Witchhunt, it's this.
This pig should be burned at the stake.

Yeah the title of this thread is very misleading... Rubbish like this can be produced in any school.

But especially in Ivies where its concidered daring and shows how liberal and smart they are. I think only in an Ivy where the no doubt the prof and student are under enormous pressure to "differentiate" themselves at all costs.

^ often at the expense of their schools' own rich history

I remember seeing another outrageous gallery at a very PUBIC and "mainstream" university in the town I grew up in. Every wall in the gallery were covered with these colorful pillows shaped like penises with white cotton representing..... well you know where I'm going. It was done by an otherwise decent artist.

I emphasize the word "public" because this was an open exhibit for all and children from the various elementary schools in the community were often in the audience on school-sponsored field trips.

And this was a huge pot-smoking, booze-drinking, sports-crazy party school that has nowhere near the prestige of an ivy (let alone "public-ivy")

thats not really even close

archmed did you mean to say PUBIC in your first sentance?

if not thats a hilarious typo

Well fucken eh'. You got me.

Now if you'll excuse me....


AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

a Freudian slip

while i think as art what she's doing is fairly horrible, i will say that most of the responses here, some toeing the line of misogyny, are precisely the types of responses she is trying to elicit.

WAIT WAIT. let me rephrase that:

Now that was a Freudian Slip, if you know what i mean

I don't care, I just want to put a freshly-murdered corpse in a gallery.

Its been a personal dream of mine since i was a little boy...

It's a hoax, people, chill out.

i find it interesting when language like this comes from "pro-lifers."

DATC: I'm pro-Death, too.
It's the old'One one hand...' argument - something liberals are very familiar with.

(On One hand)

The whole thing was a troll? BRILLIANT!

what a surprise!

hoax NOOOOOoooo :'(

Free Ramos got GOT.

Okay, now everybody back to work.

Quick somebody pshop a bloody box with images of miscarriages on it and replace the UFO with it.

Not much blood:

still doesn't beat the poopy jesus...

and piss christ

This transcends politics and religion.
