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...
with any luck she will become sterile... don't need her genes polluting the gene pool.
I wish you all would just chill. This chick is what? 19 or 20 years old? Let me translate that....young and stupid. She goes to a liberal university. When she is 30 years old she will look back on this in horror. How many of you all did stuff when you were 19 or 20 that you wish you had not done? Trust me, this will come back to haunt her, only she does not know it now.
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.
The difference there being that she is doing this of her own volition, but crack and other addicts are ruled, controlled by their addictions.
The greatest tragedy is that when she dies, this world will have been her happiest time.
And her happiest, 'greatest' time on earth will have been spent saturating herself in this filth and enjoying celebrity because of it. Seems her hell has already begun, she just doesn't know it yet...
Ugh. If it's true, and Yale isn't so sure. Even so, cover story or actual events, she doesn't need a debut. She needs a therapist.
Big difference between “young and stupid” and what this one does - a BIG difference.
Want to be a successful artist? Just be a Moloch-hugging, hideous, ghoul-skank and you’re all set.
It’s not insanity,it’s evil! We only think their insane because it’s hard to understand the evil people do.
“In another day and age, this girl wouldve been incarcerated in an asylum as mentally ill...”
That day and age wasn’t even that long again. We’ve fallen off a moral cliff in a hurry.
We need a new word...How about Nihilism..
Regardless of whether she succeeded or not, she attempted and desired to impregnate herself repetitively for the SOLE PURPOSE OF KILLING THE BABY. I refuse to write this off as normal "young and stupid" behavior.
She goes to a liberal university. When she is 30 years old she will look back on this in horror.
It's just as likely that she will stay in leftist academia and get even worse.
How many of you all did stuff when you were 19 or 20 that you wish you had not done?
I think all of us did things in our youth that we would have done differently if we had the chance to do it over. However, DELIBERATLY PLANNING TO KILL BABIES goes far beyond the pale.
I have to agree here. Waking up naked in the middle of the Quad after a night of drinking, Streaking, getting a tattoo, that is regrettable youthful stupidity. Attempting multiple abortions goes way beyond that on the road to loonyville.
Truly, a huge number of those propagandized at the university never look back and regain their common sense. Look around you.
I’m 21 and can guarantee that while I have done stupid things recently which I’m already looking back on and going “What the heck was I thinking,” I have never in my life thought it was a good idea to force a life into being, ingest dangerous substances to end that life, keep the remains of my child, and then repeat the next month in order to display it all (”it all” being human blood, though I doubt she successfully got pregnant) in seran wrap at an art exhibit. Or anything remotely close to that. And I really don’t know anyone who would do anything close to that. I’ve had people think somewhere going towards that level of insanity while drunk but upon sobering up they realize it wasn’t such a good idea.
The idea that she would purposely bring life into being only to kill it is evil. Taking dangerous substances is stupid. An art display involving human blood is unsanitary. If she had an ounce of sense, she wouldn’t have done this and really, it worked out for her didn’t it? Displaying her work in London is probably exciting and a big deal for her. She’s probably not going to regret this, and she certainly won’t regret it if everyone says, “All kids do stupid things, give her a pass.”
