Ditto to what you said.

Equally repulsive is that this is called “ART”.

Murder = art. Now that’s the new frontier of “ART”.

Now that’s the new frontier of “ART”.

Now that "artists" have "explored" the entire gamut between nothing and everything to the point of exhaustion, can we get back to art being beautiful, inspiring, and requiring a modicum of ability?

I think you're correct about "new frontier." If the only purpose of art is to shock, one finds pretty quickly that stronger and stronger stimuli are needed to produce the desired result. Flinging poop at a canvas used to do it; now nobody really cares. What is left to shock, short of actually killing someone? This is as close as you can get. For some of us it's already crossing the line. That is deliberate.

Personally I still don't think she did it. The denial is part of the act. But I could be wrong.

Reportedly there is also an artist who took a stray dog off the streets and chained it into a gallery to slowly starve to death “as art”.
