New Haven, CT (LifeNews.com) -- The Yale University art student who caused a national uproar by supposedly making a senior art project showing her having repeated abortions is slated to unveil a new work in England. London's Tate Modern museum invited Aliza Shvarts to debut a new art project concerning culture and technology.
The student, who graduated in May, supposedly repeatedly artificially inseminated herself multiple times over a nine month period and used medicinal herbs to cause early abortions.
Shvarts supposedly created an art project consisting of the videos of the abortions and plastic sheets covered in her blood.
Yale officials said Shvarts admitted the project was a ruse, but she later denied the claim.
Yale authorities refused to display Shvarts' first art project until she signed a statement saying the installation was a ruse and that she had never been pregnant or had the abortions.
Shvarts refused and quit talking with the student newspaper about the project.
Now, Shvarts is one of 10 artists invited to present works on the relationship between culture and technology. The Tate Modern museum says the exhibit involves "a range of leading thinkers and practitioners" but says nothing about what justifies Shvarts for that status.
Instead, Shvarts may be benefiting from a Yale University connection.
The Yale Daily News includes a new report on the exhibit and Yale art-history lecturer Seth Kim-Cohen says he is curator for the event and invited Shvarts to participate.
"She seemed to be more affected by the media than most of us are in our whole lifetimes," Kim-Cohen told the newspaper. "I thought she would have some reaction to how the media manipulates stories and truths."
Tate Modern representative Bomi Odufunade confirmed to the newspaper the piece is not the controversial project Shvarts made earlier.
Shvarts did not respond to requests from the newspaper to discuss the new exhibit.

DO NOT WANT
This woman is to be pitied. Like many people caught up in horrifiying degredation, she has lost any sensibilities she may once have possessed. Crack whores plying their trade in shadowed alleys are of the same order. The greatest tragedy is that when she dies, this world will have been her happiest time. Pity her - she’s a puppet of hell.
oic
And that’s one of her better looking pictures!
There is a God, there is a hell, and there will be people in it. I get tired of arguing that their is “good” in everyone.
Immoral, leftist c**t!
These people have no shame. The only people on the planet that have to be obnoxious and in-your-face offensive to get their evil, warped view across.
That means nothing to them. Most leftists are either atheists or follow some phony, new-age religion that doesn’t believe in a hell.
Wouldn’t any sane person say that this individual is insane?
In another day and age, this girl would’ve been incarcerated in an asylum as mentally ill...
Good point
The face of a serial murderer.
Purposely impregnating yourself for the purpose of aborting over & over & then making an art project out of the blood? I think not that many normal people have something comparable to that. That is something much worse than some regrettable youthful stupidity.
Their belief or disbelief won't matter.
