Aliza Shvarts is an art major at Yale University most well know for displaying a controversial art project dealing with abortion. Many believe Shvarts pushed the boundaries by documenting a nine-month process where she artificially inseminated herself, then periodically took abortifacient drugs to induce miscarriages. Her gallery featured video recording of the forced miscarriages as well as collections of the blood from the process.

Yale University Might Abort Aliza Shvarts Final Project If She Doesn't Admit It's A Work Of "Creative Fiction"

yale_university_4.21.08.jpg Yale University has threatened not to display senior art student Aliza Shvarts' final project unless she admits the whole thing was fake as our enthusiasm in typing the name Aliza Shvarts one more fucking time:
The Ivy League school stood by its claim Monday that Aliza Shvarts fabricated a shocking work of "creative fiction" in detailing how she constructed her senior art project.
"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.
Under normal circumstances, Shvarts' work would be displayed at the School of Art for "critique and discussion" with a faculty committee, according to Salovey.
Then Yale basically called her an asshole, which is kind of like a pot calling a kettle an asshole:
Yale has called her a performance artist, saying that her denial of the school's version of events is part of her performance. The university insisted last week that in interviews with Shvarts, she told them her stories were false.
We're not sure if that's so much a "performance" as it is "straight-up lying like a cowardly motherfucker backed against a wall." But, whatever. Not like we're artists or anything. Whenever we gush blood into a cup on film, it's more of a science. A money-making, lucrative, calculated science.
