Yale University and Art

Posted On: April 21st, 2008 at 4:29 pm
Yale University has threatened to pull Aliza Shvartz's controversial "abortion art" senior project unless she clearly admits it was a hoax. 

"In this case, we will not permit her to install the project unless she submits a clear and unambiguous written statement that her installation is a work of fiction: that she did not try to inseminate herself and induce miscarriages, and that no human blood will be physically displayed in her installation," Yale College Dean Peter Salovey said in a statement released Monday.

OK, so let me get this straight.  If Ms. Shvartz admits that her indecent , obscene, disgusting political statement on abortion, miscarriage, and motherhood was a hoax, and she assures everyone that no human blood was used in her installation, the show can go on?  Has ivy clogged their minds over at Yale University?  A political hoax on self-induced abortion is admissible as a work of art at Yale so long as it isn't real?

I wonder if a sculpture depicting a DNA double helix with the words "Intelligent Design" would be acceptable at Yale?
