*Warning* - Not for the squeamish nor is this funny!
It used to be that the senior art project in college meant some work of art. No longer, at least at Yale University, one of our nations oldest institutions of higher learning, originally founded by Congregationalist ministers to train clergy, home of Yale Divinity School, whose seal reads "Truth and Light."
Senior Aliza Shvarts ’08 wanted to make a political statement with her senior art project and turn herself into a piece of performance art. She repeatedly inseminated herself artificially, took abortificants to induce miscarriages, filmed and collected everything to be displayed in a large cube wrapped in hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting. For the fuller description, you may click here, but you already know more than you wish you had. (The link may redirect you; apparently the traffic is high.) Even if the whole thing turns out to be a hoax**, which I doubt it will, it is still perverse beyond measure.
Fellow "artist" Juan Castillo ’08 said that although he was intrigued by the creativity and beauty of her senior project, not everyone was as thrilled as he was by the concept and the means by which she attained the result. “I really loved the idea of this project, but a lot other people didn’t,” Castillo said. “I think that most people were very resistant to thinking about what the project was really about."
Right. Like murder as art. If this is what passes as "art" at Yale University, I shudder to think what is considered theology. I thought these senior projects had to be approved by an adviser.
If this doesn't repulse you and drive you to your knees in prayer, you'd better pinch yourself to see if you're still alive. If you're a Yale alum, pray for your alma mater, and don't send another nickel. I pray this is not representative of a rising generation which has been raised in a culture of godless self-idolatry, who have exchanged the glory of the Creator for the creature, and have degraded their own bodies which are gifts of God redeemed by the body of His Son on the cross.
Truly the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven, as God hands us over to the most degrading and vile things which is now called "art."
Kyrie eleison!
Maranatha!
**Update** An alert reader has linked to this http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080418/D903VVSO0.html indicating that Ms. Shvartz has perpetuated a disgusting and perverted hoax in the name of performance art. Hey, we've already had crucifixes immersed in urine as art, why not abortions, real or imagined? The hardened callousness of a young mind and heart that can conceive of such things simply astounds. The murder of unborn children and the pain of a woman's miscarriage become the topic of some smirking senior prank! What's next? The Holocaust as performance art? How about the abuse of women as performance art? Yeah, that would make a political statement, wouldn't it? I hope she flunks.
I pray that someone confronts this young woman in her sin, reaches her with the Gospel of Christ, and that God would grant her repentance and faith before she herself becomes a piece of eternally damned to hell performance art. And that won't be a hoax.

It is a hoax, or more properly, all part of her "performance art" piece:

Thanks for the hoax busting! As I indicated, perverse even if it is a hoax. And certainly not art.

YUCK!
Well, when one stops to consider how long it would take a woman "repeatedly" to be inseminated (let alone abort the resulting embryos/fetuses/babies)...her semester would long since have been over!

Great point. Something tells me she didn't take biology. Or likely flunked it. Hope she flunks art class too.
