"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.... The project will feature a large cube suspended from the ceiling of a room in the gallery.... 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.
"Schvarts will then project recorded videos onto the four sides of the cube. These videos, captured on a VHS camcorder, will show her experiencing miscarriages in her bathrooom tub, she said." ......

But surely this is sick!
Can’t the health department shut this down? Blood is a hazardous waste, capable of bearing dangerous pathogens. To say nothing of the subject matter itself.
This didn’t need to be posted.
“...Patriarchal Heteronormative...”
When one sees words like the above, one knows that the originator of the phrase is 1) not a science major, 2) not studying anything requiring intellectual rigor, and 3) probably goes to an ivy league school in order to avoid working in the local department store.
I thought this was found to be faked. Not her real blood.
Personally, I think the woman needs a Haldol cocktail for breakfast but that’s just me.
Even the DUmmies think this is sick.
Sell crazy somewhere else.
You’re a little late to the party:

At this point, I don’t think anyone knows if it was a hoax or real. What’s definitely real is that this girl has no chance of being employed anywhere in America after this stunt, and her faculty advisor should be fired just for the incompetence of not knowing that.
Isn’t it an odd coincidence that this jewish artist Shvarts is displaying dead fetuses during jewish passover? Wasn’t passover the period during which christian infants and children were allegedly ritually killed by jews? If people use and accept dead fetuses as art, what would they accept in the name of religion?
What she did was foolish and revolting enough - but she's opened the door to all that.
I’ll bet the authors and the funders for the “Authoritarian Personality” thought that there was no way possible this could effect them or their progeny. Ha, this is one sick girl with her self destructive behavior and her rants against patriarchal authority.
It’s a hoax
I don’t understand her ‘project’ at all. She inseminated herself and then took abortificients at the end of her cycle? Does that mean that she would menstruate and then take her abortificient herbs? There are a lot of boring ‘art’ projects on display, such as her advisor’s attaching clamps to faces and filming that bril!iance for an hour as part of the ‘patriarchal heteronormative ....’ but this one exceeds all expectations of banality. Filming onself menstruate?
If she menstruated, how the dickens could she be pregnant? Assuming that most men prefer to deliver the sperm the traditional way, does the fact that she had to do syringe deliveries make the donor’s genus suspect?
I’m always intimidated by alumni of such institutions as Yale. Case in point, more than 2 decades into it, I’m still struggling with the concepts of menstruation/conception. Halp mi Jon Carey, I otter bee stuk in Irak.
Ya can’t polish a turd, but you can educate a fool. Unfortunately, no matter how much education, they remain fools.
what’s next? how does one top this?
You can’t educate a fool. But you can indoctrinate one.
I think she is living out the theory of ‘it’s my body’ that her generation has been fed — to the nth degree. Like putting your kids into an inner city school because YOU believe in integration. Even the lefties are horrified, and rightly so, but it is THEIR belief system lived out loud, taken to the nth degree.
I predict that, at some point, she will become a pro-life advocate, speaking out against abortion. She will possibly become infertile from this stunt. She will surely be on her knees before the Holy Throne.
It’s important to look at this as genuine misogyny. That is, an extreme hatred of women found both in the “teacher” and the student.
Misogyny is not limited to men. And in its extreme form, it is beyond grotesque. And there are profound examples of it on the internet.
In some women it sometimes manifests as horrific self-mutilation.
Or as a “suicidal lifestyle”, with increasing levels of risk until something kills them, with repeated severe injuries.
Others are attracted to abusive to the point of murderous boyfriends. Others turn to intense sadism directed at other women.
Fantasies about mutilation, amputation and death. Some are fascinated with gynophagia, the desire to be killed and eaten, or just eaten, by others.
Often, misogyny is focused on female traits, especially the breasts and genitalia. It is not surprising that it would also focus on reproduction and pregnancy.
It is a mental illness. So the questions become how severe is it as an illness, and can it be treated? Equally importantly, is it appropriate for a school to capitalize on or reinforce a students mental illness?
If nothing else, this demonstrates that this institution either doesn’t recognize misogyny, or it has no policy to discourage it.
The people who posted that already believe it. If they didn't have her for an excuse they would have found another. They're no different from her.
Look at this comment from an antisemite at the site: Makes me accept the age old charges of jewish blood libel. If people can accept aborting their own children for entertainment, how much more readily would they kill other children for religous pupposes (passover)?

Antisemitic? The problem is the analysis is logically consistent. Antisemitic implies something slanderous and false. Where’s the falsehood with what Svarts is saying and doing?
Then that kinda explains that woman who is the head nacho of PETA. Can not remember her name. Her husband a lawyer is part of the group also. She wants her flesh to be fried and eaten and the hide made into shoes and such. She hate her HUMAN self. She said she wants a world without Humans so mother earth can be pristine again. She said she hates the space she takes up in the world. Interesting indeed.
